EXPERIENCE

Scott Colby is a former Performance Development Advisor for USA Swimming, where he spent thirteen years interacting with athletes and coaches at USA Swimming Championship meets providing  feedback and detailed video analysis of strokes and races. Scott will provide video analysis for Fitter & Faster, where his goal is to find the most important corrections that will yield the highest results. He says, “A lot of times it’s not obvious what problem a swimmer may be having until you analyze video of their stroke. Given that opportunity, you may be able to see and fix something that makes the athlete more efficient in the water.” He goes on to say that video analysis is not about training volume over time, but about “one or two things you can do tomorrow to get faster.”  

Scott’s coaching philosophy centers on the individual, and recognizing that each swimmer is unique. He brings a positive attitude to his video analysis and the pool deck focusing on what an athlete is doing well, as well as what they can work on to improve their stroke and swim faster. 

Scott has coached swimmers that have been finalists at Olympic Trials, won national titles, and set national age group records. He has also produced numerous Top 10 age group athletes.
