Swim the Distance: Advanced Program

Begins Thursday 22 January

After completing Swim Mastery Levels 1&2, many swimmers elect to continue on. They enjoy the essence of “Pursuing Mastery”: Relentlessly challenging their perceptive abilities to continuously improve. There is no finish line, no fixation on goals. Instead, kaizen swimmers focus on crafting each stroke, just as an accomplished painter or musician patiently crafts each brush stroke, or each note.

Our focus continues to be efficient technique through highly perceptive kinetic intelligence, for distance swimming.

We may focus on any aspect of technique – from the fundamental hydrodynamic vessel, to the more illusive Grip and Press. We also swim a variety of sets and tasks using perception, stroke length, cadence and distance and the parameters.

You will receive an email with a video journal after each session.

Expect to swim about 1600-2000 yards, usually in 100-300 yard segments, each with specific focal points or tasks.  We will use video both to journal the sessions and for stroke analysis – occasionally shooting underwater.

Thursday Evenings 6:30-7:30 12 Sessions, Begins 22 January

$220 for IHF Members, $260 non-members
