Past Clinic

This clinic focusing on the High Performance techniques, drills, and starts of Olympians Claire Donahue and Davis Tarwater is appropriate for swimmers ages 12 and over; adult/masters swimmers; and younger athletes who achieve a USA Swimming "A" Motivational Time Standard.

Curriculum, High Performance Freestyle - Greensboro, NC

BUTTERFLY

FREESTYLE

  • DOLPHIN KICK TECHNIQUE: The dolphin kick is vitally important and when executed properly propels the body forward.  Tarwater will teach swimmers to focus on starting the kick below the chest and emanating through the toes as well as having an even kick on both sides of the feet.  
  • SPEED POSITION: By centering the stroke from a place of core power and stability, rather than only focusing on the arms and legs, allows an athlete to maximize their pull and kick. Tarwater will teach a progression of drills that begin with kicking in the speed position and progress towards full body swimming.
  • BALANCE AND STRENGTH:A strong core creates a sold foundation for the speed position in the water. Practice core strengthening and balance exercises that will increase efficiency in the water.

BODYLINE OFF STARTS: Maintain a great bodyline for minimum water resistance while entering the water. Donahue and Tarwater will demonstrate drills for establishing a great body line in the air to allow for maximum speed once in the water.

PERFORMANCE MINDSET: Get inside the minds of two of the best swimmers in the world.  Donahue and Tarwater will dissect their stroke and explain what they think about when they swim in practices and races.

WATCH THE CLINICIANS: Observe Donahue and Tarwater swim at full speed and demonstrate a progression of perfectly executed drills to achieve powerful, efficient and fast freestyle and butterfly.

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.

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.
