Philosophy - Halifax Swimming Club

At Halifax Swimming Club, Gareth Griffiths our head coach, follows the this philosophy

Master Your Technique

Traditional instruction focuses on pulling, kicking and endless laps. I like to coach you to swim with the effortless grace of fish by becoming one with the water. I like to start with simple skills and movements and progress by small, easily-mastered steps. Swimmers should thrive on the attention to detail and the logical sequence of progressive skills.

njoy Your Experience

Swimmers come with the goal of swimming faster. We hope they quickly learn that it’s far more beneficial and satisfying to swim with grace, flow, and economy…and that speed will surely follow when they master ease. You’ll feel the difference from your very first lap of intelligent, purposeful practice and get more satisfaction from every lap that follows.
