2019 MIND & BODY: MENTAL TOUGHNESS & YOGA FOR SWIMMERS

All swimmers must be registered through USA Swimming, with a USA Swim Club. Or, they can purchase a flex pass membership through Virginia Swimming.

The focus of this camp is to align the swimmer’s mental and physical elements so performance is maximized.  We will explore mental toughness and how it can be developed and applied to training and competition.  The yoga workshops will focus on yoga poses, know as asana in Sanskrit.  By learning yoga poses, swimmers can improve awareness of their mindset, breathing, body alignment, and muscle engagement.  The poses act as a mind-body bridge and can benefit swimmers’ performance and well-being in and out of the pool. No previous yoga experience needed.
