Frontcrawl Introduction

The Frontcrawl introduction course is intended for people who are not able to swim the Frontcrawl yet and would like to learn. In order to guarantee the quality of the course and speed up the learning process participants should be able to swim the breaststroke for at least 100m in a row. If this will be a challenge for you, please check breaststroke introduction page or schedule a personal intake with one of our coaches. In the Frontcrawl introduction course we will be addressing a step by step training, guiding you to apply the basic skills for moving in the water using Front crawl swimming stroke principles. The starting point is the breaststroke: we’ll discover the similarities between parallel and continue swimming stroke first and work our way up to understanding the differences and their implications. Each training will consist of a variation of “Knowledge of result” drills and “Knowledge Performance” explanations around one central theme.

What makes swimming the Frontcrawl (FC) so exciting? When executed properly the FC stroke is the most efficient way of swimming and makes it therefor the ideal stroke to bridge the fastest and longest distance possible.

Appropriate swimwear: a bikini or beach shorts are not comfortable for swimming. You may want to consider other options such as an one-piece swimsuit or swim trunk, as it provides better coverage and support.

Swimming goggle: for clear vision, eye protection, and enhanced performance. Try our examples on location and dive in with confidence!

Swimming cap: Streamline your swim, reduce drag, and protect your hair. Try our high-quality swimming cap on location for optimal performance and comfort.
