Event Description

AUGUST 17 THREE STYLES OF FREESTYLE CLINIC

AUGUST 17
Ages: 10 - 18
Time: 11:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $195

We will cover Freestyle from prone balance, to long axis rotation, to kicking, to full stroke, with starts, turns, and underwater harmonics.  The three styles taught will be the hip driven (middle distance to distance), shoulder driven (sprint), body driven (ultra sprint).  The swimmer to coach ratio will be approximately 3:1. We will focus on efficiency (i.e., distance per stroke).  Swimmers will be videoed using camera phones, and the Sideline Scout above and underwater video system.  They will be able to compare their technique with videos of model swimmers.  Each swimmer will receive a written critique of the various aspects of their technique.
