Competitive clinic 1 & 2

May 7, 2018 by admin

Stroke improvement and advanced techniques

Competitive clinic 1: Ages 7+
Competitive clinic 2: Ages 11+

This curriculum is designed for swimmers who have a solid knowledge of freestyle and backstroke and are working to master breaststroke and butterfly more efficiently. Swimmers in this program have already competed in some type of swimming program, and are looking to improve technique and speed while also gaining the conditioning needed for upcoming competitions. Our focus in this program will be understanding the scientific terms that apply to swimming such as buoyancy, propulsion, and body position in such a way that promotes greater speed and efficiency in the pool. Many swimmers who already compete on surrounding teams will swim in this clinic in order to improve technique and speed.

Skills to be worked on in Competitive clinic 1 and 2:

  • Developing a love and respect of water through safety education and practical experience
  • Mastering streamlines specific to all 4 strokes
  • Improving quickness and speed off the diving blocks
  • Improving freestyle and backstroke technique
  • Improving breaststroke timing and power, with power kicking and pullouts
  • Learning more efficient butterfly stroke, breathing, and underwaters
  • Mastering Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly turns

Skills required to be eligible for these clinics:

  • Swimmers must have prior experience on a competitive team (summer league, ymca, private team, etc.)
  • Swimmer must be able to complete 200 yards of freestyle and backstroke legally without stopping
  • Swimmers must be able to swim a 50 of each stroke legally
