Swimming Fundamentals
In just 4 lessons and over 30 videos of online swim education you will learn how to improve your freestyle or even learn freestyle from scratch.
We will take you through the importance of breathing, how to incorporate your stroke around your breath, body positioning and balance so you don't sink and rely on your kicking to keep you afloat, timing of your stroke for balance, coordination and how to gain power and momentum with every stroke you take.
We teach with both swim science and practical drills and skills your body is designed to move in the most natural way possible, to help you dive head first into your swimming journey.

Discover the Ocean & You
We really do love what we do and get excited about the huge benefits swimming has on both the body and the mind. Freestyle can not only be used to improve your body fitness and stamina but your mental fitness and clarity too. It is a form of meditative practice which also gets the endorphins pumping.
We have a saying at Salty Fit that we live by, 'you never regret a swim.' At Salty Fit, we have taught thousands of people to learn to swim and to be able to swim in the ocean.
This is why we teach you the strongest possible freestyle in our swim teaching tool kit, so you can take your swimming practice to the ocean or any location that involves water, be it a lake, the sea or a pool. If you can swim in the ocean, you can swim anywhere.

As an added bonus for the pilot course, during the month of June, we will incorporate a weekly live meeting where you will get to check-in with your very own swim coach and discuss your learnings and also get feedback on your swimming journey.
You will also be able to practice in a community and share your progress and get peer support in our private FaceBook group.
