Ever since I successfully started coaching my own Master’s swimmers and Triathlon swim program in 1981, I have relied on Jan’s expertise to help guide me in becoming a better coach when explaining and correcting a swimmer’s stroke mechanics. Jan’s Freestyle Biomechanics explains it all, broken down and easy to understand for any competitive swimmer and swim coach.
