Swim analysis, also called a biomechanical swimming assessment, allows us to thoroughly evaluate your technique in order to identify the factors that limit your efficiency in the water. An inefficient stroke can lead to increased fatigue, decreased performance, and even the development of pain, especially in the shoulders, neck, or lower back.
The NXTG Swim Pro training is an exclusive internal program developed by Dominic, owner of NXT Generation PHYSIO. Its purpose is to ensure our therapists develop strong expertise in swim analysis and technique correction.
At NxtG PHYSIO, our swimmer analysis protocol combines an out-of-water biomechanical assessment, in-pool video observation, and real-time technical corrections performed directly poolside.
Each session is personalized based on your goals. Whether you want to improve efficiency, prevent injuries, or adjust your stroke while dealing with pain, our goal is to provide clear, practical recommendations that fit your reality.

The swim analysis is completed in several steps, directly poolside.
First, before the session, you will complete a questionnaire covering:
your goals
your training volume

This information is essential, as it helps guide the in-pool analysis.
Time to get changed.
Access to the locker rooms and shower (mandatory).
To conclude, at the end of the session, your technical priorities are reviewed with you and the main corrections are clearly explained.
After the appointment, the video sequences are analyzed and summarized. You will then receive, by email, a recap video with your personalized recommendations, according to the following timeline:
If your appointment takes place before Friday at 12:00 p.m., the video will be sent the following Friday.
If your appointment takes place after 12:00 p.m. on Friday or during the weekend, the video will be sent the Friday of the following week.
This video allows you to review the recommended corrections and integrate them more easily into your training.
