Past Clinic

This 11 & Under Essentials of Powerful and Efficient Freestyle and Backstroke Clinic will be led by 2012 Olympian Nick Thoman.  Nick will instruct participants on how to achieve a more efficient stroke, improve their body position in the water, as well as teach on-land exercises to improve athletic body-awareness.  This clinic will be helpful for all four strokes but especially the “long axis” strokes, backstroke and freestyle.  Receive insight, explanation, and demonstrations from this experienced clinician on how you can become a faster and smarter all around swimmer. 

Custom Curriculum - Springdale, AR

IN THE WATER: 

HEAR FROM NICK: 

  • DRYLAND CONNECTION: Learn different stroke concepts and how to activate specific muscle groups that are essential for a fast backstroke.
  • FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH: Thoman will lead swimmers through a stretching routine that he does daily to not only increase his range of motion for more power in the water, but also prevent shoulder strain and injury.   
  • WHAT IS HE THINKING: Get inside the head of one of the best swimmers in the world.  Thoman will dissect his stroke and explain what his mindset is in practice, and how he mentally prepares his body to be race-ready.
  • ASK QUESTIONS: Swimmers and parents are invited to ask the clinicians questions during a Q&A session.  Hear the Olympian talk and gain insight into HIS training regimen, diet and nutrition, and recovery tactics.
