You will learn a variety of drills to practice on your own that will help you swim better, faster, with less effort. I will help you to...

  • Swim horizontal so that your legs don't slow you down
  • Rotate your body correctly for greater speed
  • Time your stroke with the body rotation
  • Breath easier
  • Relax and be comfortable in the water

The clinic will run 3-4 hours and include both instruction and pool time.

Tentative Agenda:

Orientation & Swim Video
Swim Drills - Staying Afloat, Swimming in the Tube
Instruction - Working with the water
Swim Drills - Timing your Stroke
Swim Drills - Putting it all together
 Swim Video & Q&A

I want to keep the class small so that everyone receives a good amount of individual attention. There are 12 spots available. . There is a group of 5 that have already reserved spots. Please RSVP to hold a spot as there only a few left. We will be working in pairs so if you have a friend you prefer to work with you should both sign up.

Equipment needed:

  • Goggles
  • Swim Suit
  • Towel
  • Ear Plugs (Optional)
  • Nose Plugs (Recommended for certain drills we will do)
  • Fins (Any fins will do. I recommend Zoomers http://www.zoomers.net/zoomers.htm which you can get at any sporting goods store).

If you have a question when you're in the pool, say "I have a question." If you need help (EXAMPLE, you swallowed water), raise your hand and we'll jump in to save you. If you have a question and you raise your hand, you're going to get saved. :-)

Bring your questions. The first clinic was a success. I really look forward to this.
