Easy Recovery Essentials

These are the first-ever videos to identify the key movements and rhythms that link the two long-axis strokes (freestyle and backstroke) and those that unify the two short-axis strokes (breaststroke and butterfly). This unique approach – learning the essentials of two strokes at once – cuts learning time significantly and produces improvement with unprecedented ease and speed. We guarantee it will prove to be one of the most valuable swim-improvement tools you can own.

The Flame are most known for their connections to the Beach Boys, though they'd been active for quite some time in a much different part of the world than Southern California before they came to the Beach Boys' attention. Originally known as the Flames, the group – with brothers Ricky Fataar, Steve Fataar, and Edries Fataar, as well as Blondie Chaplin – was a popular act in their native South Africa in the mid- to late '60s, moving to London near the end of the decade to try to break into a larger market. Still using the name the Flames, they put out an obscure album in the U.K. in 1968, Burning Soul. In July 1969, they were seen at the London nightclub Blaise's by Beach Boys guitarist Al Jardine, who brought the band's other guitarist, Carl Wilson, to see them the following night.
