Backstroke Clinic
Event Description
COMPETITIVE CLINICS |
The UWO Stroke Clinics are designed to teach and communicate the importance of efficient swimming. These clinics are intended to make significant improvements in stroke, start, and turn techniques. It is our belief that technical efficiency is the quickest way to make time improvements. We address one stroke per clinic to maximize a total understanding of that specific stroke. This is to ensure adequate time to begin building new neural patterns. We will spend time body position, balance, and rotation, undulation, and a number of different stroke drills. We will video below the surface to see the stroke and its strengths and weaknesses. We will also do an evaluation of your stroke with the underwater video and that is yours to keep and watch again or share with your coach. We will emphasize the importance of kicking and work together on increasing the speed of the starts and turns. For freestyle, butterfly, and breaststroke it is very helpful to have a front mounted snorkel. We believe the front mounted snorkel is a great technique tool.
