What is The Review?

The Whole Swimmer Review is a short booklet written for swim teachers who want to think more deeply about their practice. It is not a manual of techniques — it is an invitation to slow down, look more carefully, and consider the person behind the stroke.

Each edition focuses on a single theme: observation, conversation, the adult learner, the reluctant swimmer. The writing is practical, reflective, and grounded in real poolside experience.

The booklet is free to read here on the site and available to download as a PDF. No sign-up required.
