Following instructions sent to him, Andy videoed himself, and we followed this up a few days later with a 30-minute Remote Video Analysis session via Zoom. The videos were quite revealing. Capable of just 5 surface strokes at :21, we found his lower back and legs losing control during the glide phase. In this image, we see his heels and part of his lower legs coming out of the water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/4845358e-25fa-4905-8461-0afb239c18a3/Kyle+before.png Before & Afters - Kyle - Before BEFORE: Already fairly fast, Kyle benefited from video analysis, and a lengthy conversation about how the human body finds balance in the water. His goal was to swim faster than 55-min in the half IROMAN. Baseline data at the start of his first lesson: 20 strokes :19.0 (25 SCY). Notice here we do not see his right hip breaking the surface, his entire torso and head are on an incline, and leading (pulling) arm is moving too soon at this energy level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/c3e35a05-1706-4f58-bdd7-8eb6f2e58b88/Kyle+after.png Before & Afters - Kyle - After AFTER: Kyle was so excited after his first lesson he found a pool later in the day during his lunch break and got himself down to 12 strokes, hit an occasional 11, and claimed to have sped up some more! 3 weeks later: 10 strokes at :18 (25 SCY - image at right) 4 weeks later: 12+13 at :32 adding Tempo! (50 yards) 7 weeks later: 7 at :11 in a wetsuit! (25 y) Eleven seconds! Eleven! And he really wasn’t working that hard. Kyle is WELL on his way to meeting his IRONMAN goals. A little video analysis goes a long way. Schedule here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1594709425870-1VNJ14HQWZSURCBA6XEO/Dominique+DPC+Tempo.png Before & Afters - BEFORE & AFTER MATH - DOMINIQUE For the even more serious swimmer, TechSwim can crunch the math so you can hone in on your goals. Sprinters, did you know that increasing your distance per stroke by just 1/2 inch can result in a 1.5 second time drop racing a 100? And we get to have a conversation (and do some simple math) about the fight between distance per cycle (DPC) and Tempo. Here are some math (and performance !) examples. Dominique needed quite a bit of work, but she was very serious about her goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1594709861364-INR747HOG8NFA27D3VB7/9gWNrYoA.png Before & Afters - BEFORE & AFTER MATH - JORGE Jorge was quite accomplished when he began. Following corrections to his breathing stroke, placing a high priority on better distance-per-stroke, and working his kick, Jorge now is 25-seconds faster per 100, has much better stroke control and has learned the importance of range in his speed. An increase in tempo now no longer significantly compromises distance-per-stroke! https://www.techswimheights.com/about daily 0.75 2025-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1593015394808-8LSRTMHB8QEZ7VOMOIQL/Lorin.jpg About https://www.techswimheights.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2025-03-17 https://www.techswimheights.com/home daily 1.0 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1594251076057-HAJI23XY0Q8FFM5OQWMB/andrew+under+water+vid.jpg Home - He really tuned in to what our son needed... “Lorin worked with our son weekly for a little less than 2 months. He really tuned in to what our son needed to hear, and had positive feedback. Andrew wanted to attend the lessons! Since I could not be present, the ability to access the videos at home was nice … Andrew’s progress was obvious!" - Andrew’s mother - Andrew, Summer league swimmer, 8 years old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1592460468420-LUTFLF101J0BSDR6U4OK/kk.jpg Home - My first training session with Lorin was transformative!… “I've always been athletic, and years of childhood swim lessons gave me enough confidence in open water and pools to start participating in triathlons in my late 30s. After one sprint tri, I realized that there is a wold of difference between leisure swimming and technique-based swimming - swimming aimed at efficiency and speed. That's when I reached out to Lorin for help. My first training session with Lorin was transformative! After an hour of work, Lorin had taught me how to drop my stroke count by 30% and provided me with training drills and plans I would need to really improve. Lorin's unique gift is his ability to articulate exactly what he wants the stroke to do and how to make your body perform better. If you've worked with other coaches before, you haven't heard what Lorin will tell you. It's new. It's better. And when you work with him, you will be better too! I've gone from mucking my way through a 300yd pool swim to training for mile swims in pools and open water. Without a doubt, Lorin is the best swim instructor I've ever worked with!” - Kristy Kyle, Triathlete, Wife, Mother, Veterinarian, Business Owner, 42 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1592459188904-ZD4IU9G9ND92Q2EUJJPJ/kv.jpg Home - I have been swimming competitively since I was 7 years old… "I have been swimming competitively off and on since I was 7 years old. I have had many coaches over the years including college coaches and think that Coach Lorin is the best I have ever had. I rank him first because he has a unique understanding of the mechanics of swimming and can explain it to you so you get it. I had the pleasure of working with Lorin while I was swimming in a Masters group at the Clay Road YMCA. Lorin made the team fun, competitive and it was an hour I went out of my way to attend no matter how long the drive. My favorite memory of my coach was how excited he was when I made a National Qualifying time in the 100 Breaststroke!” - Kevin Small, Masters Swimmer, 63 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1592460990246-HW3AR2RPH5LI7FFYDSQZ/blog+photo.JPG Home - I was really blessed to have Lorin as a coach... “I feel like I was really blessed to have Lorin as a coach. I first met him after several knee surgeries and doctors orders to not play tennis anymore. Lorin cared about my health and fitness as well as teaching me proper technique. I was able to increase my endurance in the pool and in daily life as well. His workouts were always focused and goal driven. Truly a great coach!” - Melanie, Masters Swimmer, 67 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1593016366311-WJ57OVE7EIPUHAZNULNH/CLT.jpg Home - I was afraid of the water… “My name is Mariela I'm 34 years old and I do like to workout in some many different ways, like weight lifting, Plyometrics and running. I'm from Puerto Rico and I was afraid of the water. I decided to take some swimming lessons with coach Lorin to at least be more relaxed while in the water. However, I found out I was pregnant with my first born son a few weeks after we started the classes. Swimming became the best workout to keep me active during my pregnancy and to bring me back in shape after delivering the baby. Thanks to coach Lorin I'm interested in competing in an Aquathlon in the future.” - Mariela, 34 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1593626013076-YD29O4QJPP22DYHGKLD9/test.png Home - Cuts straight to the high impact elements... “I don't feel like this fully captures what I would like to say, which frustrates me a bit. It seems to me like most coaches say the same things over and over again and that it's the same advice one can read if you pick up a book. More than any coach I have had, you are able to cut straight to the high-impact elements and describe it in a way that clicks. As someone trying to improve or fine-tune technique it can be difficult to know which, of all the little details you have heard over the years, you should be thinking about or focused on. We all know that, realistically, we can only think about so many things at a time.You have really helped with that.” Kelsey and Lorin worked together to address nagging shoulder pain. Kelsey also commented, “The real-time feedback and two-way discussion provided during sessions are very valuable.” - Kelsey Mcarthur, Masters swimmer and cyclist, 39 years old https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1592459714226-4NA69KSPKJQFB4RE24OX/prl.jpg Home - Coach Lorin was an essential part of my swimming journey... “Coach Lorin was an essential part of my swimming journey. His calm, methodical approach to the sport really transformed my thinking. He was relaxed but also not afraid to jump in the pool and show you how things are done. He drew charts and illustrations all over his swimming notes, gave me amazing reading recommendations, and wasn’t afraid to question how things are done or to try something new. One of the most impactful things he did to help me improve was taking videos of me swimming. I had never actually seen myself moving underwater and analyzing those tapes with him helped me grow exponentially. I loved every second I spent working with Coach Lorin and highly recommend him, no matter what place you are in your swimming career.” - Pearl, competitive swimmer, state and former world record holder, 14 years old. https://www.techswimheights.com/results daily 0.75 2020-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1586135104870-3RU5YJ1KH91JXBFVX76G/gentrit-sylejmani-JjUyjE-oEbM-unsplash.jpg Results - Before & Afters It all begins with an idea.

Click here to see how the “Remote” part of this got started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8a527b5f2e304daff2b0e2/1593628695565-V6Z5H19RSURTJU4VH9GW/todd-quackenbush-E9PJO_vL3E8-unsplash.jpg PROGRAMS - Distance swimmers and triathletes Frustrated having attended Masters for years? Finishing the swim demoralized during a Tri? Let’s get you efficient and fast. The key to long-term improvement is increasing Distance Per Cycle while maintaining the same Tempo, or while reducing Tempo. Olympian and distance phenom Katie Ledecky actually swam a faster 800-meter race by taking 14 fewer strokes! All swimmers need to get that (DPC) and Tempo conversation going, and find the right combination for you.
