Coaching swimmers is about creating change and developing skills.
It’s also one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish.
Swimmers need feedback to learn.
That feedback needs to be immediate.
It needs to be relevant.
And the more objective it can be, the better.
EACH swimmer needs to get the feedback they need.
That’s where it can get difficult.
As a coach, it’s very hard to provide feedback to every swimmer.
It’s very hard to provide objective feedback to each swimmer.
There’s only one of you.
You can’t watch each swimmer take each stroke.
If they're not getting the feedback they need, they're not going to swim nearly as fast as could.
But if they get the necessary feedback, they WILL improve their skills.
They WILL go faster.
And that's exactly what we're after.
Swimming fast is all about swimming BIG.
As swimmers improve, they improve primarily because they take LONGER strokes, not faster strokes.
This happens naturally as swimmers age.
It can be accelerated by working directly on the skill of stroke length.
You can help swimmers improve by building stroke length, rather than hoping stroke length improves.
How can you help swimmers swim faster by improving their skills through better feedback AND learn to swim big in races?
Stroke counts.
It’s the most powerful feedback strategy I’ve found for helping swimmers get immediate, relevant, and concrete feedback about how they’re swimming.
It lets them know how efficient they’re swimming.
It does so after each and every lap.
And every swimmer can get their stroke counts at the same time.
That means each swimmer has more opportunities to improve.
However, stroke counts can be confusing.
There’s not much information about how to use stroke counts.
It’s hard to know where to start and what to do.
I want to solve that problem for you.
That’s why I created How To Use Stroke Counts.
How To Use Stroke Counts is a comprehensive resource that provides you with everything you need to know about stroke counts.
The goal is to give you the tools to help your swimmers go faster.
I cover why stroke counts are so valuable and what they help you accomplish.
I explain these concepts in simple terms that your swimmers can understand.
That means better buy in.
I cover how to use stroke counts to help swimmers become more consistent with their skills.
The more consistently they can execute with great skill, the more consistently they can perform in races.
I cover how to use stroke counts to help swimmers become more adaptable with their skills.
That means they’ll be better able to change how they swim.
They’ll be better able to meet the demands of dynamic races.
I show you the strategies to help swimmers develop length at speed.
Length at speed is a key driver of long-term racing performance.
I go over how to use stroke counts for each stroke.
That way you know how to apply these concepts regardless of what you're doing.
Just as importantly, I show you how to use stroke counts with other skill development strategies to make those strategies even more effective.
I cover using stroke counts with drills, various training aids, hand postures, and even resistance training.
Stroke counts make each of these tools BETTER.
Alignment, propulsion, and timing are the fundamental skills in all strokes.
I show you how to strategically use stroke counts to improve each of those skills.
I show you how to approach each skill differently.
I also show you how to use stroke counts for two very different purposes:
-
Helping swimmers discover new skills
-
Helping swimmers learn to consistently execute the skills they already know under pressure
That way, you can use stroke counts to help swimmers learn, and then learn to perform.
To make sure you have everything you need to be successful, as a bonus, you’ll get the following:
-
An entire section on putting stroke counts into practice
-
Practical strategies for implementing stroke counts for the first time,

FAQS
How is the information provided?
Everything is digital and downloadable. The text is available with PDF. All the sets are provided via PNG files, and the video descriptions of the sets are mp4 files. Additionally, the set videos have been uploaded to YouTube as unlisted files, so you can quickly and easily access them at any time.
What types of training do these ideas apply to?
These strategies can be used with any type of training, from speed training to endurance training. You can use these ideas regardless of how you like to train. Further, there are example sets for every stroke and every type of training. From sprint training to longer endurance work to shorter endurance work to pure drill work to pace work. However, you train, you can make it work.
What if I’m not sure how to put this into practice?
This is a practical manual, not a theoretical one. While I certainly explain the why behind everything, the goal is to help you USE these ideas. There are clear strategies, clear progressions, and a LOT of examples that you can either use right away or use as inspiration for designing your own sets.
I’ve never used stroke counts before. Is this for me?
This is designed for someone that’s struggled to use stroke counts, as well as someone who has a lot of experience with stroke counts. I document EVERY way I use stroke counts, whether for advanced athletes with a lot of stroke count experience, or for swimmers that have never used stroke counts before. Whether you’re new to stroke counts, or an experienced stroke count user, there’s something powerful you can learn to help your swimmers get better.
Does it cover how to determine stroke count goals for swimmers?
The manual will go through the different strategies for individualizing stroke counts and how to determine effective stroke counts for a given situation. While there’s no formula to know exactly how many strokes a swimmer should take in a given situation, there is a simple process that can be used to determine effective stroke counts for your swimmers for a given set.
Is this a physical book?
No. The written documents are PDF files that you can read on any device. For the sets, there are links to unlisted YouTube videos so that you have access to all the different videos wherever you are. I am also including all the ‘hard copy’ video files so that you have access to them offline.
