[ Swim Types · The Swim Smooth framework ]

You're not an
average swimmer.

So why follow average advice? Swim Types is what makes Swim Smooth genuinely different — six recognisable freestyle profiles, each with its own faults, strengths and fix list. Identify yours and the guesswork disappears.

Take the original questionnaire free, then download the revamped guide for your type — $9.99 each.

  • The Arnie
    Big engine, fighting the water
  • The Bambino
    New to swimming, finding your feet
  • The Kicktastic
    Kicking hard, arms along for the ride
  • The Overglider
    Too much glide, not enough rhythm
  • The Swinger
    Punchy, rhythmical, built for open water
  • The Smooth
    Efficient, balanced, the classic model
