Learn to swim like a pro with Jo Jackson

400m world record holder, Olympic bronze medallist and Gatorade athlete, Joanne Jackson, has developed the first three parts of her swimming masterclass – the videos have been designed to aid swimmers of all abilities to hone their swim technique in the pool.



The Gatorade Swimming Masterclass videos are available and free to view on the Gatorade UK YouTube channel www.youtube.com/gatoradeuk . Jackson (23) has worked with Gatorade to produce the series that consist of tutorials on dive starts, freestyle technique and tumble turns.



Jackson, who represents Great Britain, personally demonstrates specific techniques in each video whilst she verbally guides viewers through each phase step by step. Both recreational and competitive swimmer will find the videos of use as they are designed to provide detail on how to perfect form and technique.



Jackson’s swimming tutorials are the latest videos to be added to the Gatorade UK YouTube channel, which also features videos on sprinting with Usain Bolt as well as a series of videos on Triathlon and Rugby. Jackson is signed with Gatorade for the next three years and a further programme of training videos is due to follow on the Gatorade UK YouTube channel over that period.
