    If you’ve ever felt heavy in the water… this is why.

    In this video, I’ll show you how your body’s balance point changes — especially as you grow, develop, and train — and how learning to find that center creates the kind of flow, rhythm, and speed every great swimmer has.

    The front snorkel changes everything.

    In this video, I’ll show you why the front snorkel is the greatest training tool ever invented — and how to use it to finally master your bodyline, rhythm, and breath control.
