Past Clinic

Learn from these two excellent clinicians and world-class swimmers as they teach participants essential techniques for butterfly and breaststroke.  Swimmers will leave with a better understanding of the two short-axis strokes, as well as on land exercises to increase strength and body awareness. 

Curriculum, Essentials of Powerful Butterfly and Breaststroke - Concord, MA

BUTTERFLY

 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
  • RHYTHM AND TIMING: Learn the technique that Jaeger uses for a “late kick” in breaststroke, which allows him to have a seamless, powerful transition into the stroke. 
  • BODY UNDULATION: Connor 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.

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

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 CHRISTINE AND CONNOR

  • BODY AWARENESS: Practice key techniques on land that will directly transfer to the water. Find the optimal body line and learn to strengthen the muscles that are essential to establishing good body control.
  • REACTION TIME: An important aspect of every start is the reaction time.  Magnuson will work with swimmers on land to make swimmers reaction quicker in order to get in the water faster.
  • BREASTSTROKE FLEXIBILITY: Maintaining flexibility allows for faster swimming and greater range of motion.  Jaeger will lead swimmers in a series of exercises to stretch out the hip flexors, elbows, and other joints that are key to 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.
  • WHAT ARE THEY THINKING: Get inside the minds of two of the best swimmers in the world.  Magnuson and Jaeger will dissect their stroke and explain what they think about when they swim in practices and races.
