Dr. Jan Prins has developed a series of instructional videos for the Freestyle that are “state of the art.” The photography is exceptional, showing underwater and above-water views of swimmers from a wide range of skill levels. His descriptions of the strokes are delivered concisely and accurately in understandable language that is always supported by video that clearly demonstrates the point he is making.

The Freestyle Biomechanics videos also include a section on common mistakes. The knowledge gained during his many years of coaching and teaching swimming are definitely on display here. The swimmers making these mistakes are not swimming “wrong” for the camera. They are actual Club, Masters, and Triathlon swimmers who are the embodiment of those in your pool who are making the same mistakes. Thus, making it easier for the coach and teacher to spot those mistakes and correct them. I can promise you, that this set of videos will be an invaluable aid to any Coach or Teacher of swimming who uses them.

What Jan Prins has developed in Freestyle Biomechanics is a step beyond what anyone has done before. It is an excellent teaching tool that I can use in coaching my Masters swimmers and Triathletes, especially those beginners eager to improve. The underwater video quality is superb. Jan breaks down the Freestyle stroke into the most concise format possible.

As a coach, these videos are a great tool to show swimmers their stroke faults. They are a great reference for swimmers to better understand why we are asking them to make changes in their stroke. Swimmers can quickly see why they have been struggling and what they should aspire to achieve. The videos save Coaches time. The stroke mechanics covered are common errors I see in both age group and adult swimmers. These videos take the place of personalized underwater videos which can are difficult to attain at this level of clarity. When I watch the videos, my mind ticks off a list of swimmers I know will benefit from watching the 16 sections of the program.
