The method

Technique first.
Speed follows.

There's no secret here. We fix strokes, we measure everything, and we race. The rest of this page is the detail.

The stroke

Technique before volume.

A lot of programs measure a good week in kilometres. But if your catch is wrong, swimming six of them a night just makes you tired and wrong. So we fix the catch first, then add the work. It takes patience, and it's why our swimmers keep dropping time.

“Three centimetres higher on the catch. That's where your speed is hiding.”

The kind of correction you'll actually hear on our deck

The system

No single magic method.

Swimming has fashions. One year everything is aerobic base, the next it's all race pace. We're not loyal to any of it. Some months are heavy on technique, some point straight at a meet, and two swimmers in the same lane are often doing different versions of the same set. We use whatever the swimmer in front of us needs.

Season planning

We plan the season backwards from the meets that matter. Base, build, sharpen, race.

Technique blocks

Whole phases where the stroke itself is the goal. Slower, shorter, done properly.

Race-pace work

Close to competition, you swim at the speed you plan to race at, with enough rest to do it right.

Individual tuning

A 50m sprinter and a 400m swimmer shouldn't have the same week. Here they don't.

The evidence

Measure everything.

When a coach tells you something changed, you'll be able to see it: on the video, on the watch, in the numbers next to your name. Four things get tracked in the water:

Splits & pace per repStroke rate & stroke countEffort zones · RPE / HRStarts, turns & underwaters

Where the camera comes in

  • Poolside reviewWe film during the set and show you right there on deck, while the feeling is still fresh.
  • Review sessionsSometimes we sit down and go through your stroke frame by frame. Ten minutes of that can save a month of guessing.
  • Progress filmsWe keep footage from across the season, so you can watch your own stroke change.

The ladder

How we know it's working.

You never have to take our word for it. A swimmer here gets checked four ways, from the training pool to the scoreboard:

01

Test sets

The same timed sets come back around through the season. Same distances, same rest. If the numbers move, you moved.

02

Race rehearsals

Before a meet, we run your race properly: dive start, race plan, splits taken.

03

The platform

Every swim goes into our app. You, your parents and your coach all look at the same numbers.

04

Meets

Then the meet itself. Training exists so that day goes well.

Our swimmers take podiums at meets around Cairo, and the fastest of them race at national level.

The Sweep platform

Your season, on the record.

We built our own app for this. Every race swim ends up in it (1,191 so far), along with attendance, scores and awards.

Sweep Score

One season-long score, kept fair across ages. It counts performance, consistency, improvement and spirit.

20 levels

Career levels that build over the years, from Beginner to GOAT. Swimmers care about these more than we expected.

Honours

Swimmer of the Week, Month and Year. Decided on evidence, handed out on deck.

For parents

Open the app any day and see times, attendance and progress. No waiting for a report card.

The classroom

We coach the why.

Ask one of our swimmers what stroke rate is. They'll tell you, and they'll probably tell you theirs too. We explain the reason behind every correction, because a swimmer who understands a fix keeps it.

The language

Catch, streamline, split, stroke rate. Swimmers pick the words up in their first weeks here and never stop using them.

The purpose

Before anyone pushes off, the coach says what the main set trains and why. Nobody swims a mystery set.

The debrief

After a meet, you sit with your coach and the splits and talk through what happened and what to change.

The other 22 hours

Sleep, food, recovery. Simple advice, matched to age, because most of the improving happens between sessions.

The deck

Race yourself first.

We take racing seriously and still keep the deck calm. The goal that matters most is your own next time drop. Red and Blue collect points all season, the captains stir things up, and there are enough meets on the calendar to keep everyone humble.
