Curriculum, HIgh Performance Back, Breast, and Free - Winter Garden, FL
FREESTYLE & BACKSTROKE
BREASTSTROKE
- SNAP THE KICK: Learn and practice drills that focus on finishing the breaststroke kick in order to propel the body forward with the most power
- RHYTHYM AND TIMING: Learn the technique that Weltz uses for a “late kick” in breaststroke, which allows him to have a seamless, powerful transition into the stroke.
- BODY UNDULATION: Weltz will demonstrate and teach the skill of pressing forward with the chest and raising the hips higher on the surface of the water. This helps create the feeling of swimming “downhill” and getting the most out of each glide.
- OPEN ARM CATCH: Learn and practice technique for an open arm catch, pulling from the bodies strongest muscles to increase speed and maintain stroke length at the end of race
- DRYLAND: Weltz will review a series of stretches that help loosen the hip flexor, groin, ankles, and elbows that will help prevent injuries and allow for a greater range of motion while swimming breaststroke.
RECEIVE FEEDBACK: Romano and Weltz will watch participants swim and provide them with direct feedback.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING: Get inside the minds of two of the best swimmers in the world. Romano and Weltz will dissect their stroke and explain what they think about when they swim in practices and races.
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.
WATCH THE CLINICIANS: Observe Romano and Weltz swim at full speed and demonstrate a progression of perfectly executed drills to achieve powerful, efficient and fast freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke.
ASK QUESTIONS: Swimmers and parents are invited to ask the clinicians questions during a Q&A session. Hear the Olympians talk and gain insight into their training regimen, diet and nutrition, and recovery tactics.
