Zero Deviation - Video Analysis
A complete 12-week stroke transformation. For the swimmer who's done with guessing.
A single analysis — even an exceptional one — can only show you the problem and point you toward the fix. What it can't do is stay with you through the weeks of practice it actually takes to change how your body moves in water. Real stroke transformation requires the analysis, a structured program built entirely around your specific biomechanics, ongoing review as your movement patterns shift, and someone who can tell you when you're on track and when you've drifted.
That's what the Zero Deviation is.
This isn't a coaching subscription. It isn't a generic 12-week program. It's a fully engineered response to your specific stroke — built from a complete biomechanical analysis, delivered in structured layers across three months, and designed to sit alongside whatever training you're already doing. You don't change your training. You change how you swim in it.
Who this is for
Triathletes and serious amateur swimmers who have tried fixing their technique before and found that the improvements didn't hold, didn't transfer to race pace, or didn't show up in their splits. You've had coaches. You've watched the videos. You've done the drills. Something is still off, and you know it.
The Grand Slam is for the athlete who understands that the answer isn't more feedback — it's a complete system built around their specific body, their specific stroke, and their specific goals, with expert oversight across the full period of adaptation.
How it works
Week 1 — Full Diagnostic and Blueprint Your complete Stroke Blueprint analysis. Full biomechanical breakdown, Technique Fingerprint, Blueprint Document, Practice Architecture Sheet, Coach Brief, Orientation video, and a personalised 12-week stroke program built directly from your findings. Your program isn't templated — it's constructed around your fault hierarchy and correction pathway. We start with your entry call to align on your goals, your training schedule, and your timeline.
Weeks 2–12 — Guided Transformation Weekly stroke reports tracking your progress against your Blueprint. Direct async access to your coach — questions answered within 48 hours. Video re-analysis at week 4 and week 8, recalibrating your program as your movement patterns shift. Monthly check-in to review progress, adjust focus areas, and ensure the program is responding to where you actually are, not where you were at week one.
Week 12 — Benchmark Report and Close A final written Benchmark Report documenting measurable change across the full 12 weeks — your Technique Fingerprint compared before and after, split times, stroke metrics, and a clear record of what changed and why. Your renewal pathway and next-phase recommendations are included.

Stroke Blueprint · $672
The most complete swim analysis available. The one that actually tells you what to do with what it finds.
Most analyses tell you what's wrong. Some of them are even right. But they stop there — you get a video, a list of things to work on, and then you're on your own trying to figure out how to turn that information into a stroke that actually moves faster through the water.
The Stroke Blueprint doesn't stop there.
This is a full biomechanical video analysis — the most comprehensive version available anywhere — anchored by a named document that becomes your complete technical reference for the next 90 days. Not a list of corrections. A framework. Your fault hierarchy, your correction pathway, your practice architecture, and the document that makes every coaching session, every drill set, and every metre in the water count toward something specific.
Why this is different
The problem with technique improvement isn't identifying the errors. The problem is that swimmers — and their coaches — run the feedback through the wrong mental model. The common belief is: fix the technique, become more streamlined, get faster. It doesn't work that way.
What actually drives improvement is finding the specific movements in the water that cause your muscles and limbs to load and activate correctly — and then practising those movements with enough consistency that physiological adaptation occurs. That takes weeks. It requires understanding the mechanism, not just the instruction. And it requires a framework that keeps you on track when the noise starts — the YouTube tips, the well-meaning club coach, the training partner who says you looked fine.
The Stroke Blueprint is that framework.
The Stroke Blueprint Document
Standalone value: $450. This is the centrepiece of the package — your complete technique architecture. It maps your fault hierarchy (what's wrong and in what order it matters), your correction pathway (how to address each fault, in sequence, without working on the wrong thing first), and the framework that governs every training decision you make for the next 90 days.
It's the document you show your coach. It's the document you open before a technique session. It's the thing you come back to when you're unsure whether what you're feeling in the water is right.
The Technique Fingerprint
A 1–2 page visual summary of how you specifically move through the water. This is your personal benchmark — a snapshot of your stroke at this point in time that becomes the reference point for every future analysis. When you come back in 90 days, this is what we measure against.
Blueprint Validity
The Blueprint is designed with an expiry. Not as a sales mechanism — as an honest reflection of how stroke improvement works. Your Blueprint should be renewed when any of the following occur:
-
90 days of consistent practice have elapsed — your stroke will have shifted enough to find the next layer of limiters
-
A significant injury has altered your movement patterns
-
A major change in training volume has introduced new compensations
-
You've reached a technique plateau despite following the prescription
At week 8 you'll receive a renewal prompt. Blueprint clients receive a discount on their next analysis.
What you receive
-
6–8 annotated video segments — one dedicated video per focus area, with full theory, correction pathway, and future development recommendations
-
The Stroke Blueprint Document (standalone value $450) — your complete technique architecture for the next 90 days
-
Technique Fingerprint — 1–2 page visual benchmark of how you move
-
Blueprint Validity Tracker — four expiry trigger types built in, with re-engagement guidance
-
Practice Architecture Sheet — a structured 4-week plan specifying what to work on at every session
-
Pool Deck Reference Card — laminate-ready, distilled cues for poolside use
-
Coach Brief Document — a detailed professional document written for your specific coach, not a generic handout
-
Blueprint Orientation video — your coach personally walks you through your Blueprint document, with your name and specific callouts from your analysis
How it works
Upload your footage and complete the intake form. Your coach conducts the full biomechanical analysis, builds your Blueprint Document and Technique Fingerprint, records all video segments, and films your personalised Orientation video. Everything is delivered to your folder within 5 business days. The Orientation video is the last thing recorded — it references your completed Blueprint so it's specific to you, not a generic walkthrough.
This is what a video analysis is supposed to be.
Diagnostic Video Review · $197
Your stroke, diagnosed. Everything you and your coach need to start making real progress.
Most swimmers have had feedback before. A coach points something out, you work on it for a few sessions, then it drifts. Not because you weren't trying — because feedback without a framework doesn't stick. You need to understand why the correction matters, what correct movement actually feels like, and how to practise it so the change becomes permanent.
That's what the Diagnostic Video Review is built to do.
Your coach watches your footage in full, identifies your key biomechanical focus areas, and delivers a 7–15 minute coaching video that breaks down the theory behind each one — not surface-level cues, but a genuine explanation of what's happening in your stroke and why it's costing you efficiency. From there you get a structured practice plan, a poolside reference you can actually use, and a document your coach can work from directly.
The part that makes the difference
The problem most swimmers face isn't getting feedback — it's that the feedback gets filtered. It goes through your coach's existing framework, gets rephrased into something more familiar, and ends up sounding like everything else you've tried. The Coach Communication Card is in this package specifically to prevent that. It's a clear, professional document written directly for your coach: here's what we found, here's the correction, here's how to cue it, here's what to watch for. It protects the prescription from being diluted between the analysis and the pool deck.
What you receive
-
7–15 minute coaching video covering your top biomechanical focus areas
-
Full theory breakdown per focus area — the mechanism, not just the instruction
-
Step-by-step practice guide for each correction
-
Common mistakes section — the specific ways people get this wrong when they practise it alone
-
What you'll feel — a proprioceptive cue for correct execution
-
Stroke Diagnostic Report — a detailed PDF formatted for poolside reference
-
Pool Deck One-Sheet — distilled cues, laminate-ready
-
Coach Communication Card — written for your coach, not for you
-
30-day check-in prompt built into your report
How it works
Upload your footage and complete the short intake form. Your coach reviews, records the coaching video, and builds your documents from the analysis transcript. Everything lands in your delivery folder within 48 hours. The PDF is yours to keep, share with your coach, and take to every training session for as long as you're working on this prescription.
Quick Video Review · $97
Fast expert eyes. No fluff.
You don't always need the full analysis. Sometimes you just need to know: am I doing this right, or am I drifting?
The Quick Video Review is exactly that — a specialist set of eyes on your current footage, turned around the same day. Upload your stroke and within 24 hours you get a 3–5 minute voiceover from your coach reviewing what's happening in the water right now. No reports, no PDF, no emails back and forth. Just a direct, honest read on your stroke from someone who knows what they're looking at.
Who it's for
This is built for swimmers who've already had a full analysis and are in the middle of working on their prescription. You've been practising. You think you're getting it. But you can't see yourself in the water — and that gap between what you think you're doing and what's actually happening is exactly where progress gets lost.
The Quick Review closes that gap. Your coach watches your current footage, tells you whether the correction is landing, and gives you one clear focus point to take to your next session. That's it. That's what you need.
It's also a clean entry point if you've never used the service and want to test it before committing to a full analysis. Low friction, genuine value, same coaching eye.
What you receive
-
A 3–5 minute voiceover video of your coach reviewing your footage
-
An immediate verdict on your biggest limiter right now — pass or flag
-
One specific cue to work on at your next session
-
Delivered to your folder the same day
How it works
After purchase, we will be in touch to provide you with a link to your personal Google Drive folder where you can upload your footage. Your coach reviews it, records the voiceover directly over your stroke, and it lands in your delivery folder within 3 working days. No scheduling, no waiting, no back and forth.
Filming
Filming your stroke is easier than you think. Any phone or camera works — simply have someone film you from the side of the pool, above the water, and make sure you stay in frame for at least 10 full strokes. You can upload multiple videos, so try a few angles and don't overthink it.
If you have access to an action camera, underwater footage gives us significantly more to work with. If you do film underwater, include a mix of both above and below the waterline. For those with an action camera ready to go, follow the complete guide below to get the most out of your footage.
🎬 Your Filming Guide
Filming Guide
-
Side-on view is essential – aim to capture at least 10 full strokes, ideally underwater.
-
Multiple angles help: above water, front, or aerial if available, but as long as you capture your swimming side on, we have everything we need.
-
You can have a friend film you using a GoPro on a pole or a selfie stick. A friend can film from the poolside or in the water.
-
Many swimmers use the mid-pool ledge for stable wide-angle shots. Wide-angle cameras like a GoPro are great for this.
-
Film at different speeds to show stroke changes. For example, race pace and steady warm-up pace.
-
Name your files clearly (e.g., side_underwater_racepace.mp4).
Benefits of Video Review &
Video Analysis
Swimming has an added challenge over most sports; you can not turn your head to see your technique.
The most common challenge we see swimmers experience is misinterpreting their control in the water. We have found that when swimmers review footage of their swim, they can align the feel of their swimming stroke with the reality of their orientation in the water.
Video review is often perceived as a very technical approach to coaching, a method usually reserved for elite, high-performing s. However, we believe it is such a valuable tool that it should be available to swimmers of all abilities.
Since offering video reviews to every swimmer we work with, we have witnessed swimmers improve their control and perception of their form significantly faster.

Technique Development
When redeveloping your swimming technique, your goal is to reorientate your stroke to move the largest body of water with the least effort. Most often, swimmers struggle to maximise technique efficiency and increase yield per stroke for two reasons: poor balance or overloading.
Balance
Balance refers to a swimmer's ability to remain stable at the surface of the water. If a swimmer is not balanced, then some proportion of their propulsion is used to remain level instead of propelling forward. Common signs of poor balance include a dropping leading arm, collapsing pulling arm, short stroke, splicing kick, fishtailing torso or difficulty implementing rotation or the stroke catch. After working with many swimmers, we have found swimmers who improve balance see these discrepancies disappear and increase yield per stroke. We even see high-performance swimmers improve their pace by addressing balance.
Overloading
Overloading refers to the fatiguing load your limbs and body encounter as each stroke moves water. If the load your stroke engages is too much, your mechanics reorientate to decrease propulsion to maintain stroke rhythm and perceived pace. This process most often happens without the swimmer realising. Experienced swimmers are likely to encounter overload if their stroke has insufficient leverage due to changes in control over rotation or the catch phase. Lack of balance tends to diminish a swimmer's ability to control leverage.
Common Errors
Common errors include:
-
Cross-over entry
-
Splicing kick
-
Poor rotation
-
Loss of catch phase
-
Sinking legs and hips and sinking during the breath
All common errors are a byproduct of poor balance and overloading. These errors are usually identified when comparing the swimming stroke to performance swimmers rather than identifying discrepancies in control over biomechanics in water.
