Race Analysis

In competitive swimming, the small details are what turn hard work into personal bests. Race analysis shows you exactly where your time is going: the reaction, the breakout, the second half, the last turn. Dissecting and analysing the race gives you feedback on specific areas to target for improvement. This is much more useful than simply your length splits.

It works for any swimmer, at any age. About half the analyses I do now are for masters swimmers, because the margins that decide a masters race are almost always technical rather than aerobic. A masters swimmer who fixes their breakout finds a second faster than a swimmer who adds a fourth session.

Whether you’re chasing a national final, a world ranking, or a milestone that’s been out of reach for three seasons, you’ll get a clear, data-driven picture and an actionable plan.

Small Details. Big Results.

Not ready for a race analysis? Why not get detailed feedback on your stroke instead?

Stroke Teardown
£65.00

Race analysis needs race footage. This doesn't. Film yourself swimming in training from two angles, and I'll send you a recorded teardown of your stroke: what I see, in priority order, with drills per fix. Yours to keep. Most useful if you haven't raced recently, if you're between seasons, or if you already know the problem is technical.

How it works

1

Choose your package and pay.

It takes a minute.

You’ll get a secure upload link straight away. Filmed from the stands with the swimmer centred in the frame is ideal - a phone video is fine.

2

Upload your video.

3

Get your analysis back within 2 working days.

A written report and metrics sheet on every package, a walkthrough video on Video and Debrief packages, and a call on Debrief.

After the analysis

Once you’ve received your report, you have two options. Take the information and feedback from it and integrate it into your ongoing plan yourself, or you can have the next 12 weeks of training around it built by someone else. That’s what coaching is for.

Check out whether this is the right option for you.

  • Wow, that was a fast turn around time! Thank you very much for the race analysis and feedback, Jamie. This is precisely what I was after. I will make sure to incorporate what you have suggested into training, particularly experimenting with increasing the fly kicks and setting the catch. I will definitely be recommending your service to others. :)

    Edwin

  • Thanks for getting this back to me so fast. This is a fantastic and unbelievably helpful video. I will work on the points you have raised.

    Cal

  • This was a fantastic analysis, there's a lot of new ideas for me in there that will be fun to work on. The countdown idea for kick acceleration in particular is very interesting.

    Joe

  • Nice video analysis of your races , he points small details which can help you swim faster. Easy , fast transaction, just upload your races.

    Bartosz

  • A high quality service which was tailored for the correct age range of the swimmer. There were many positive comment and constructive feedback in order to help him improve.

    Laura

  • Great breakdown of all splits allowing me to understand where I was losing speed in my races.

    Matt

  • Excellent and comprehensive service.

    Rob

  • Thanks for the race review! My son appreciated the tips and will try to incorporate them into his next races.

    Mike

  • The analysis was great, thank you. My daughter loved it and has already started working on some of your feedback in the pool.
