The philosophy, purpose and people shaping Kaizen Swim Club.
Kaizen Swim Club was established in September 2017 and is registered with Jamaica’s aquatic governing body. Its philosophy reflects a commitment to developing swimmers through purposeful coaching, sound technique and steady progress.
Kaizen is a Japanese word commonly translated as “change for the better” or “continuous improvement.” It combines kai — change or correction — with zen — good or virtuous.
Swimming is shaped by drag, efficiency and technique. Rather than simply trying to swim harder, the Kaizen approach emphasizes small, continuous refinements to technique and training habits that can compound into faster swimming and more efficient endurance.
Focus on one drag-creating habit at a time. A swimmer might work on keeping the hips high, preventing the arms from crossing the body’s center line at hand entry, or improving head and spine alignment for a cleaner streamline. Reducing resistance can improve speed without requiring more effort.
