What is anxiety? A fear of the unknown, a fear of the known, fish, deep water, or a fear of failure? Some of the feelings we experience are linked to difficulty in getting breath, tightness in the chest, a very rapid heartbeat, sweating, tingling or numbness, faintness, rigid muscles, cramps, and sudden emotional outbursts. But how can we deal with anxiety\u2014whether before an open water swim race, a triathlon, or even just entering a new body of water?
We work closely with you from both our base here in the Canaries and remotely to increase your confidence and give you the skills and knowledge to manage anxiety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The most misunderstood aspect of swimming is choosing the right stroke for the right purpose. Many swimming teachers still rely on outdated methods, and numerous triathlon coaches suggest quick fixes instead of addressing the root cause of the problem. Meanwhile, many seasoned swimmers focus primarily on paddle work.
All of this can lead to poor technique, injury, wasted energy, and a Misunderstanding of the basic principles of moving efficiently through water.
We treat you as an individual\u2014your height matters, your body matters, and your confidence matters. We work with you to keep you injury-free while helping you understand the importance of posture, body position, and how to use the water to your advantage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
