As a swim parent, you want your child to make steady progress in the pool while keeping swimming fun and exciting. But even with hours of practice, many kids repeat the same stroke mistakes over and over—slowing improvement and causing frustration.
That’s where swim video analysis for kids in Chicago comes in. At Chicago Blue Dolphins, we use video as one of our most powerful teaching tools because children learn best when they can actually see what they’re doing. By combining underwater and above-water footage with expert coaching, we give your child instant, visual feedback that helps corrections “click.” And with the option to take video home, you can track their progress and know exactly what they’re practicing between lessons.
The underwater view is worth a million words.
How It Works
- We ask our swim team kids what stroke feedback they are getting from their coaches
- We capture short, focused clips of your child’s swims during lessons
- Coaches add kid-friendly feedback so corrections “click” right away
- Videos are easy to view at home on your phone, tablet, or computer
- You’ll always know what your swimmer is working on between lessons
