About the Author
Steven Shaw was a professional swimmer who suffered physically for his sport almost leading him to give it up.  He subsequently trained as an Alexander teacher and was encouraged to observe his behaviour in the water in the light of the Technique.  He developed a creative way to teach swimming based on the principles of the Alexander Technique. The approach increases the benefits of being in the water through greater body awareness and The Shaw Method is now taught all over the world.
