These are led by Swim Smooth Certified Coach Jason Tait, a front crawl stroke correction specialist, Swim England Qualified Coach, Swim England & STA Open Water Coach and Advance d ALP Aquaphobia coach.
We are lucky enough to have our own pool facility in Swindon. This gives our swimmers a vast array of additional swimming options with 1 on 1 coaching attention.
All of our Video and 1-to-1 sessions are very technically focused. We use video recording in both sessions to guide the swimmer and show them what they are doing in the water, a video analysis takes a deep dive into this footage for a total stroke review. .

Swim Smooth Certified Video Analysis Sessions
The gold standard in terms of video analysis. Swim Smooth are renowned worldwide for their in depth video analysis services and methods of coaching a swimmer as an Individual to get the very best out of their swim stroke. No two swimmers swim the same way, so we don’t believe every swimmer should be coached the same way.
Mini Video Analysis sessions
A shorter version of our full analysis session, ideal for those who swim in our squads or who are familiar with Swim Smooth methodologies and drills.
1-to-1 Sessions
An individual attention without the in-depth analysis. Ideal for those that want individual coaching input without the cost of Video analysis, or as a regular supporting session to compliment a swimmers own training.
Our 1-to-1 sessoins are available as 60 minute sessions (highly reccomended as we can get more into your session) or shorter sessions of 30 minutes.
Learn To Swim Front Crawl
Sessions designed to build a swimmer’s existing swim skills and introduce them to the front crawl stroke. For booings for this service please choose the 1-to-1 Endless Pool Coaching option.
Junior Video Analysis
Supporting competitive club swimmers and triathletes with Front crawl development. Junior swim analysis is a shorter version of our adult service, suitable for swimmers aged 11/12 – 14 years old.
What is an Endless Pool, and the other technology we use to boost your swim?
An Endless Pool is a small pool with a counter current motor that holds you in place. These are classed as Swimming Machines, think of a running machine but for swimming.
Endless Pools are primarily used and designed as constant swimming machines. Our pool has an adjustable current which can be maxed out at 1:08 per 100m. This is fast enough for even the faster swimmer that we see over distance.
As a coaching facility the pool is second to none as it allows coach Jason to see the swimmers stroke close up , and any inherent faults that the swimmer has will be shown by the pool.
During your session we also use other technology to enhance the coaching experience. We utilise Video Filming, Coach to swimmer headsets and AI (Artificial intelligence ) stroke capture.
Our pool has seen total beginners, channel swimmers, national champions, world champions, adventurers and even an olympian pass through its doors. Come and be the next athlete to join us?
How an Endless Pool works
Our Endless Pool facility - The pool
Our Endless Pool offers a range of totally adjustable speeds up to 1:08/100m.
We keep our pool heated at around 29 degrees, which is the ideal temperature for the technique based sessions we offer.
Or pool is indoors, in a custom made heated cabin
Our Endless Pool Facility - Changing
We have changing facilities in the pool house complete with a rinse shower for before and after your session
Our Endless Pool Facility - Location
Our pool is based in North Swindon, Wiltshire. This is just a short drive from the A419 and just off of the main north Swindon arterial route, Thamesdown Drive.
I am lucky enough to work from home so don’t be surprised that we are not on an industrial estate.
What filming do you do?
We utilise handheld cameras and film in HD. We have tried various filming technology and prefer a mobile handheld system as it gives us more options to capture every angle of your swim, which fixed cameras do not easily allow.
We use powerful apple macs and a 42inch screen to display your video in high definition, recording our session for you for later viewing.
We use camera work in our Video Analysis, Mini Video Analysis and you get to keep the footage as part of these sessions. We will also usually film our standard 1-to-1 based swimmers to show key faults in their stroke, however this footage is not analysed or given as part of a standard 1-to-1session.
What to expect in your session
Our sponsored athlete Luke Campbell kindly produced a video runthrough of one of his video analysis sessions for us. Although his is now quite old the service description is the same, with a few tweaks. Please take a look below.
