Swim Solutions
For many swimming in open water is the ultimate in freedom of expression and movement as they experience the calm and inner peace of being at one with their surroundings. But for others it's an alien environment presenting new challenges for even experienced swimmers. Whether you intend to swim for competition or just for pleasure, SwimSolutionS can help.

Using state of the art multi-direction audio/video analysis (used by the British and Australian Swim Teams) of your stroke and employing the proven Total Immersion method, our experienced coaches will improve your technique resulting in greater efficiency, greater confidence and greater speed. Coaching can be provided in one-to-one sessions, small groups or Open Water Swim Camps in the Med. Whatever your needs SwimSolutionS guarantees results.
