On attending the 2008 NZCAT (New Zealand coaches and teaches) Conference as a Presenter, I was fortunate to
hear a presentation from Ali Dennis and immediately knew that his DVD was
one that I had to acquire for my swimming resource library. I wasn't
disappointed!
The DVD is fantastically put together - with great vision and easy to
understand dialogue, it is a wonderful tool to have for any swimming
instructor or coach. The 'drill cue card' is novel and again a fantastic
teaching aid. All we can hope now is that Ali completes the set with all
four of the competitive strokes - I'll be making sure that I have the full
set!

"Ali Dennis has combined the main principles of swimming freestyle and condenced them into a very user friendly DVD. It swims the watcher through all they should know about how to move through the water in the most efficient manner.
The explanations are easy to follow and ensure the viewer is aware of how their body is going to react at each phase of the stroke. Ali uses the same phrases and language throughout the DVD. This allows an increased level of understanding of each technique and the positions required.
The cue card inserted into the DVD cover is laminated so that it can be refered to on pool side. It reminds the swimmer about key thoughts, recapping previously learned drills and indicates the number of lengths they need to swim to achieve fitness goals.
Gliding On is a fantastic tool for any person wanting to improve their swimming style and technique."

June Grey - Gliding on course |
|

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate on the recent Gliding On
course. I found it invaluable to see myself on camera and have my stroke
critiqued by someone who was able to break down the stroke and explain it in an
easy to understand, logical manner.
The drills that Ali teaches (from the Gliding On dvd) are a great tool to teach
/ understand the feel of the different elements of the stroke and after the 3rd
session, the technique "clicked" for me. Up until that point, it felt like
there was so much to learn / think about but practicing the drills did indeed
help make it all fall into place and now I feel like I have been equipped with
the knowledge and the tools to put everything I have learned into practice.
It was great to be able to go on a course with like-minded people and learn not
only from Ali, but from each other.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone, regardless of ability. Ali is a
great teacher, very easy to approach and is always willing to help out where he
can."

"Thanks Ali for the Gliding on DVD, I was MOST impressed - Well done. It is awesome! The perfect tool to help people understand how to hold their bodies in the water allowing effective propulsion via 'feel' . Given that swimming is all about balance, stability and control before the stroke comes into question, I belive the DVD to be ideal for novice adults embarking on ocean swimming and triathlons. Every coach will communicate different strokes, but the essentials remain the same - you have provided clear and precise tools to achieve the ultimate streamline position. I highly recommend Gliding on to all those who want to improve their understanding of efficiency in water."
