DVD Reviews of Go Swim All Strokes with Kaitlin Sandeno & Erik VendtDVD Review: Great reference DVD Summary: 5 StarsI bought this to supplement my training (started swimming at age 35). Over the past year I have found it a great DVD to refer to time and time again. The slow-mo and drill sections are particularly helpful.
DVD Review: Achieves its goal Summary: 4 StarsThis video hits its mark as a supplement to one's coaching. Olympic level swimmers demonstrate key focus points for "whole-body swimming" each stroke. The student is advised to watch repeatedly and take a mental image with them to practice of what correct form looks like in each competitive stroke.
Has helped immensely with my 7 & 8 Y.O. children who swim on a summer-only team and get very limited hands-on coaching.
Note that the swimmers swim at an IM tempo. The slo-mo section is a useful bonus.
If you're looking for drills and complete stroke lessons you probably ought to buy a series by Quick or Marsh, but this is a great and inexpensive way for one to supplement his coaching in all four strokes.
DVD Review: Go Swim All Strokes with Kaitlin Sandeno & Erik Vendt Summary: 5 StarsExcellent DVD. I watched over and over again.
DVD Review: Great reference for swimming all the strokes Summary: 5 StarsThis is a great reference video for competitive swimmer, including age group swimer. It does not teach you how to swim a stroke step by step. It serves as a model swimer that you can learn from. The best part of this vedio is that you will never be getting bored of watching them swim, they swim such a beautiful style that is very enjoyable.
I have "swim fast" series which features Michael Phelps, Ed Moss, and Lindsay Benko. Again, those are for competitive swimmer. But I have to tell you, Kaitlin has the best Fly, Back and Free techniques. Erik is close second. In term of breast stroke, I vote for Ed Moss.
As a parent of age group swimer, I think the techniques are more important than raw power. I would not ask my kid to swim like Michael Phelps bacause Michael has a lot of power packed in his stroke and kids can not do that.
I also have the series of "becoming a faster swimmer", it is targeting for beginners. However, no one in their right mind would ask a complete beginner to swim in a vedio, right? I watched that series for two times and that is it. Once you know the contest, the instruction will become very boring.
My recommendation is to buy this vedio and a swimming instruction book. You can study the book to learn or teach how to swim a stroke, but watch the vedio to set a final learning target.
DVD Review: A Disappointment Summary: 1 StarsThis DVD really has not much to offer. By comparison the video "Swim Smarter, Swim Faster" has everything I wanted. Check this out. It's available from Amazon as well. The following is the description:
