"The progressions Steve uses are so good that I use all of his GoSwim DVDs with my University of Iceland students to show them sound teaching progressions in teaching swimming to children as well as how the correct turns should be executed. His DVD on the creative use of mirrors and visual aids is also fantastic. His DVDs are not only informative, interesting and extremely effective in training swimming coaches and teachers but also taught from the heart.
