Of all the swim channels I follow, it seems like Brenton (sp?) has some of the best advice. I have not subscribed $ to any of his coaching, but is there anyone else out there that you have used & have had measurable improvements?

If you follow some of the information paul newsome puts out there, he is quite open on his training methods and sets too. He posted on here back in the day too.

I paid for a year about a year ago. You can post your own videos and a coach will usually review it. Also once a month Brenton reviews submitted videos post a video of the reviews. I can’t say it really made a big difference for me but it was something.

I’m a fan of his training. After I did my first HIM I followed the 8-week faster freestyle since my swim was abysmally close to cutoff time. I cut myself down from a 2:15-20/100m average pace to 2:00. Most of the fixes were his explanations of body positioning and breathing that helped me a lot.
I think it’s a good program before you spend some $$$ on a coach. I then did 1:1 coaching for a month and fixed the small issues in body position to get to 1:50/100m. Then I tried out Effortless’ 5-day catch program which has gotten me down to around 1:45/100m on my pacing.
I think next for me is significantly more swim volume and another round of coaching to push down to 1:30-35/100m which is my goal for 2026. Brent also has a great video out on the common mistakes from 2:30 down to 1:15/100m, I think it is spot on and worth a watch.
