The Beauty of Questions

Published on: 09/12/2025

This post explains how the documentary The Beauty of Questions, about artist Robert Irwin, reshaped the way I coach freestyle. Irwin’s belief that learning begins with inquiry—not rigid answers—influenced my entire approach to technique. Instead of teaching checklists, I focus on awareness, posture, timing, and sensation so swimmers can understand how movement actually feels in their own bodies. The post explains why I don’t model my coaching on elite race footage and why my freestyle method looks different from what’s common online. It’s about tuning a stroke through perception, not memorizing cues, and helping swimmers swim with intention.
