Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Becoming A Faster Swimmer: Volume 5, Starts, Turns, and Finishes for All Swimming Strokes Comment: This DVD has a lot of good info and practical tips for improving starts, turns, and finishes for competitive swimmers. I swim for the Masters (adult) program, and am not tremendously competitive, but have learned so much. I actually swam in a meet and did passably well, thanks to some of the ideas I learned from this video. Well worth it! Customer Rating: Summary: Not ground breaking but good. Comment: This is a good review of the 2 foot grab start. It was nice to find a video that explains some of the advantages of the 2 feet forward approach. This is somewhat ignored teritory with so many swimmers using the track style start. It was some what long. If you are a coach planning to show this to your swimmers maybe you should do it in 2 sessions as some of the experienced swimmers could become board. Over all this was a good video with many good example demonstrated. This video also contains instruction on turns and finishes but most of the material is very well coverd in many other swimming references. Nothing New or ground breaking just solid swimming instruction. Customer Rating: Summary: Clear detailed explanation Comment: A good reference for beginners in executing starts, turns, and finishing for all 4 swim styles. Explains hows and whys, common errors in executing, pool tips, rules and also swim coaching. Tom Jager is great at explanation. Never learnt about starting, turning and finishing during my swim classes, never even know what the (backstroke) flags and poles are for, even after being able to swim 30 laps, until this dvd. But not a dvd I would watch over and over again; just get in the pool and do it! More Reviews
