Based on a 35-year voyage of discovery into the art of swimming,
this work looks at the most popular strokes - front crawl, back
stroke, breast stroke and butterfly - focusing on maximum
efficiency and minimum strain. Swimming improves your flexibility,
tones your body and can help to boost your self-esteem and produce
a sense of well being. It is the nation's most popular sporting
activity with 11.9 million people swimming regularly. However, most
people don't know how to swim properly. Steven Shaw's method takes
the Alexander Technique into the swimming pool - focusing on
releasing tension from the head, neck and back. Steven has evolved
a unique way of breaking down strokes into a series of therapeutic
movements, which can be practised individually or with a partner,
in a pool or on dry land. These provide the building blocks, which
combine to make it possible for anyone to recraft their own strokes
in a way that promote good body use and avoid injuries. Instead of
performing physical actions in an automatic way, you begin to learn
body awareness. This way of swimming not only feels freer and more
open, it is graceful and has a sense of flow, often absent from the
way many people swim.
