Availability & Fees
Terms & Conditions		Learning the Total Immersion fish-like swimming techniques is easy here at *SwimShack. The Endless Pool at my swim studio is the ideal learning environment. It's compact size provides a feeling of security for novices and keeps me within arms-length at all times, allowing instant intervention and correction no mater what your existing swimming skills level. This ensures a significantly accelerated learning experience compared to working in a normal swimming pool. SwimShack* features mirrors both underwater and overhead, so you can always see if you have perfect alignment. I also use two underwater and two surface video cameras for ongoing, multi-screen visual feedback. At the end of each visit you will receive a DVD* recording of your swimming and drilling, with my voice-over describing what we are doing and why - study this at your leisure and revise before your solo swimming practice's. NO MORE GUESS WORK!

		"At SwimShack you will receive expert tuition from 'TI Master Coach' Ian Smith who has a wealth of experience as a swimming instructor and competitive swim coach"






		I have been tutored by Total Immersion Swimming’s Founder, CEO and Head Coach Terry Laughlin to his highest level of professional instructor certification of ‘Master Coach’ and I have his full approval to teach all forms of TI swimming instruction here in the UK, where I am also one of a small group of people authorised to direct at Total Immersion Workshops. I've coached at a substantial number of workshops over the last eight years, where we have developed the swimming technique of over a thousand individuals. But, since June 2007 I have also been the Head Coach of TI Swimming here in the UK and have directed most of the workshops since that date. During every visit to *SwimShack* you are guaranteed the best and most up to date instruction in the world-renowned Total Immersion Swimming techniques and importantly the best stroke analyses available anywhere in the UK. I am also 'ASA qualified' to Level Three Coach and did spend six-years as head coach of a local swimming club. Here at SwimShack I have significantly improved the technique and ultimate speed of many young competitive swimmers since my studio went live in August 2005. *I do understand competitive swimming and know what it takes to teach someone to swim fast* In addition I have personally instructed many triathletes in the Total Immersion methodology, including elite level professionals, and have a good understanding of the swimming needs of that particular sport. Whether you are a triathlete, age-group or master's swimmer, or an adult non-swimmer or novice, maybe you are even very nervous of the water - whatever your current level you are assured personal attention of the highest quality throughout your any visit you make to *SwimShack* Where am I? *SwimShack* is in Loughborough, conveniently located a five minute drive from Junction 23 of the M1 motorway; just a fifteen minute taxi trip from Nottingham East Midlands Airport or five minutes from Loughborough Railway Station on the Midland Mainline route When do I teach? The majority of sessions here at SwimShack are Monday to Thursday between 10am and 9pm and Friday's 10am to 6pm. I rarely offer lessons on a Saturday and never on a Sunday
