Event Description

2024 Backstroke Camp

 

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

At  this camp you will learn to understand how to use your body position and stroke frequency to move through the water efficiently. The backstroke is about connecting the speed of your stroke with the size of your kick. You will learn how to feel the rhythm of  your stroke while still developing your power.  We will teach you the proper body-head position, the timing of your kick and the rotation of your shoulders.  By the end of our camps, our goal is to help you become a faster and more efficient swimmer in your  backstroke.

  • The importance of the body and head position in the backstroke. You will learn to swim "taller" and "longer" than you ever thought you could.

  • The backstroke must be connected through your core which is determined by the speed and size of your kick.
