Paul joins the Effortless Swimming Podcast
26 April 2022 | Category: Podcast Appearance
Brenton Ford of Effortless Swimming has had a huge impact on the world of swimming technique and how it is taught. He has had incredible success both as an athlete and a coach, and Effortless Swimming is Brenton putting all of that knowledge into the one program.
Paul and Brenton connected a little while ago over the similarities of their methodology and disruption of technique coaching, hence Brenton’s name for this podcast is ‘The Effortless Swimming of Running’, or as we might call it, Paul joined ‘The Balanced Runner of Swimming’!
You can see the full episode which goes into depth about coaching, self awareness, a cue based system and the Balanced Runner membership. We hope you enjoy, and you can check out Brenton’s work at: effortlessswimming.com
