by Steven Shaw

Video               36 minutes

This classic video, now in short supply, shows in detail a series of steps for the breaststroke, front crawl and backstroke based on the Shaw Method.  It is suitable for both water confident swimmers and teachers wishing to discover the core principles of the Shaw Method of Swimming.

The tape leads the viewer through a series of integrated practices which promote body awareness, relaxed breathing, good alignment and greater freedom of movement in the water.

We are down to our last couple of copies of this video, after which it will not be available.

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.
