BUILD YOUR STYLE – 4 week Freestyle Course

Adult Learn to Swim Freestyle 

Salty Fit’s signature 4-week freestyle foundation program.
Build Your Style is designed for swimmers who want to learn to swim and by that we mean learn to swim freestyle —whether you are learning freestyle for the first time, returning to swimming, or already able to swim but know your technique is holding you back.
You might be someone who can only swim a few laps before needing to stop.
Build Your Style teaches you the foundations of efficient freestyle so you can swim with better technique, less effort and more confidence.
Rather than overwhelming you with too much information at once, we break freestyle into four progressive building blocks, allowing you to develop your stroke step by step.

Over the 4 weeks you’ll learn:
🏊 Breathing
Develop a more functional breathing pattern for freestyle by learning how your breath, body position and stroke rhythm work together.
You’ll learn how to breathe efficiently in the water without lifting, twisting or disrupting your stroke — creating the foundation for smoother, more relaxed and sustainable freestyle swimming.
🏊 Stroke Coordination
Learn how to coordinate the key elements of freestyle — your breathing, arm stroke, body rotation and timing — to create a more connected and effective stroke.
You’ll develop better movement patterns, improve balance and coordination, and learn how to activate the appropriate muscles to create more efficient movement and prepare your stroke for greater propulsion.
🏊 Alignment & Balance
Improve your body position, alignment and balance in the water so you can move more efficiently with less resistance.
You’ll learn how improved flotation, posture and body awareness allow you to conserve energy, reduce drag and create a smoother, more effortless stroke — allowing the water to support you rather than constantly fighting against it.
🏊 Propulsion, Speed & Power
Learn how to apply your improved technique with greater strength, control and effectiveness.
Building from the foundations developed throughout the course, you’ll discover how to access your natural strength, create more effective propulsion and translate better technique into increased speed, distance and swimming efficiency.
Learn how to apply your technique with greater strength, control and effectiveness.

Each session builds on the previous week, helping you understand not only what to do, but why it makes your swimming easier.
By the end of the program, swimmers are supported to progress towards swimming 500m–2km continuous freestyle, depending on their starting point, consistency and individual goals.

Build Your Style is the foundation for:
🌊 Ocean swimming

🏖 Surf club swimming and Bronze Medallion preparation
💪 Swimming for fitness
🏅 Becoming a stronger, more confident swimmer
