  • On March 24, 2020, the Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19

    Shortly thereafter, the Pac-12 conference suspended all athletic team activities until May 31, 2020.

    Those two things don’t really go together, but to Spokane resident Ryan Foote it does. He’s a swimmer who swam on club teams locally and went to Mead High School. As a swimmer, he qualified for the 2020 Olympic trials and currently swims at the University of Arizona.

  • In this video we look at how we used an iPhone 11 Pro Max to shoot underwater shots for a short film. BUT we do NOT recommend doing this often. :) In a pinch it works great, but otherwise use a GoPro or any other waterproof action style camera.

  • These videos were shot originally for Endless Pools back in 2016, but have never featured on our channel. We hope you find them useful.

    In this 1st episode, Swim Smooth Head Coach, Paul Newsome, discusses whether you should be holding your breath when you swim and a cool drill that you can do in any pool to improve this aspect of your swimming.

    We’ll be releasing 22 of these videos over the next 22 days during the coronavirus lockdown. The videos are short and sweet – around 90s to 5 minutes for most – and you’ll be sure to pick up some useful points for your swimming.
