Past Clinic

BREASTSTROKE:  More than any other stroke, breaststroke is the most varied. Out of the eight finalists at the Olympic Games you might see eight different styles of strokes! Without fail, your timing and ability to eliminate resistance are both hallmarks of an efficient and powerful breaststroker. You have the foundation, now learn from the experts how to utilize your core and hip drive to create a fluid and more forward driving stroke.

  • TURNS:  Achieve the fastest turn possible by going into the wall with a perfectly timed full stroke and glide! Burckle and Sogar will teach participants how to set their turn up a few strokes away from the wall. 
  • KICKING:  How wide is too wide? How narrow is too narrow? It's fun to experiment and Clark and Laura will teach you how to begin to gauge what is the best kick for you based off your speed and distance per kick.
  • RHYTHM:  Heel speed in the recovery of the kick plays a crucial role in breaststroke timing; learn drills that will help you quickly get your feet into position to press into a strong breaststroke kick.
  • BREATHING:  Keeping eyes down or peeking forward with a slight head tilt are two styles that distinguish even the most elite breaststrokers; experiment with confidence what works best for you.
  • BODY UNDULATION: Pressing forward with the chest and raising the hips higher causes momentum and speed. Learn how to take full advantage of this dolphin-like movement for more forward power.

WATCH THE CLINICIANS: Observe Burckle and Sogar swim at full speed and demonstrate a progression of perfectly executed drills to achieve powerful and efficient strokes.

GET UP AND RACE: Race two of the best swimmers in the world and watch their near-flawless technique - achieved by practicing the same drills they will teach you.

HEAR FROM CLARK AND LAURA:

  • ASK QUESTIONS: Swimmers and parents are invited to ask the clinicians questions during a Q&A session:  Gain insight into their training regimen, diet, nutrition and recovery tactics.
  • PERFORMANCE MINDSET: Get inside the minds of two of the best swimmers in the world.  Burckle and Sogar will dissect their stroke and explain what they think about when they swim in practices and races.

Inquisitive, Educated Swimmers are Faster Swimmers! Sign up before tickets sell out!

Each FFT clinic is designed to focus on the unique strengths and experiences of the clinicians at that specific clinic. That's why participants have been to three, four or five and more FFT clinics throughout the country.
