PAUL JACOBSPAUL JACOBSFilm a length on your phone. I review the footage and send back exactly what to fix: no pool visit, no guesswork, no judgement about where you’re starting from.
From a one-off technique overhaul to ongoing coaching that keeps working on your stroke every month.
For anyone who wants a cleaner, more efficient stroke.
A structured technique programme built from your footage, with drills and fixes delivered straight into the coaching app.
A detailed, one-time breakdown of your stroke.
Send Paul a length or two on your phone. He breaks it down stroke-by-stroke and sends back annotated notes on what to change first.
For club swimmers and regulars chasing time.
Monthly video check-ins, evolving drills, and accountability as your stroke keeps improving, all part of Paul’s coaching membership.
Coaching runs entirely online, across the USA and South Africa. Here’s exactly how I work on your stroke without ever standing poolside.
Prop your phone at the end of the lane, or ask someone to hold it. A side-on and a front-on clip of one or two lengths is plenty: I’ll tell you exactly what angle helps most.
I watch it stroke by stroke, the same way I would from the pool deck, and pick out the two or three things that will make the biggest difference.
Notes and marked-up clips land in the coaching app: clear, specific, and built around what your stroke needs next, not a generic checklist.
Work the drills, send a new clip, and watch the fixes stack up over weeks: the same feedback loop a poolside coach gives you, just asynchronous.
Swim coaching spans a wide range. You don’t need to already be “a swimmer” to start.

Yes, somewhere to swim a length or two: a local pool, gym pool or club session all work fine. I coach from your footage, not poolside, so it doesn’t need to be a fancy facility.
That’s completely fine. That’s exactly the kind of footage I want to see. Technique fixes matter most for beginners, and the drills are built around where you actually are, not where you “should” be.
Prop your phone against a kickboard or bag at the end of the lane, or ask a friend to hold it, and film side-on and front-on for one or two lengths. No special equipment required. Once you sign up, I send simple filming tips so the footage is useful.
Yes, from nervous first-timers to club swimmers chasing a personal best. The footage-based approach works the same way at every level, it’s just the fixes that change.
Tell Paul where you’re at and what you swim. I’ll tell you straight whether video analysis or the full programme is the better starting point.
