Competitive Swim Instruction, Boulder, Colorado

This kind of work requires patience. If you aren't up for the challenge of eliminating bad habits, I am not the instructor for you.

My approach is form before speed. Once good form is in place then I use speed to enhance form.

The off season is the best time to do this kind of work.
 

 
I learned to swim today even though I've competed since I was five years old! I thought Beth Davis could help me with my worst stroke: butterfly ... however, after observing me swim, Beth started from scratch building my upper body's freestyle stroke.

It was like learning to walk all over again. I even got re-acquainted with an old shoulder injury that I was compensating for and that was limiting my stroke.

I've had strong insight generated by our working together of just how the body moves and that it is a reflection of how I am in life. For this my intelligence thanks you. For relaxing and allowing my fluid movement to surface and carry my body with less effort and further down the lane, my body thanks you. For showing me gently that although I "knew" a great deal about swimming, unfortunately most of it just wan't true! For this my heart thanks you.

After fifteen years of age group, high school and Division One College swimming experience, I thought I did not require any swim lessons. NOT! Your up-to-date knowledge of new techniques and excellent teaching skills corrected many of the bad habits I have gained over the years. Thanks for your help.

At one point I thought my stroke and swimming form were fine, until I had a swimming injury. As my swimming program increased and became faster and longer, a weakness in my arm developed into a problem. A big part of the problem was that my stroke wasn't right.

I had one session with Beth and was amazed at what she could see and was able to do with my stroke. I can now feel the rightness, the power and the efficiency in my new stroke. Beth is a talented and insightful coach.
