Past Clinic

Reserve your spot now to learn from Robert Margalis and Lacey Nymeyer during an Essentials swim clinic designed for swimmers ages 7 through 17.  The clinic will be divided into two groups dedicated to age-appropriate instruction. Participants will learn how the clinicians focused on various details of their swimming and technique, as a means to stay motivated during periods when they were not dropping time and periods when they were. 

Custom Curriculum - Columbus, OH:

  FREESTYLE

BUTTERFLY

  • FORWARD MOMENTUM: A critical element of fast butterfly is maintaining forward momentum.  Learn a series of drills that focus energy finishing the stroke properly to propel the body forward.
  • KICK TIMING: Margalis will teach how to properly time the second kick so the body does not rise to high out the water – leading to wasted momentum.  This skill is critical for efficient swimming.
  • BODY LINE: Maintaining a proper body line from the top of the head all the way through the spine makes swimming fast much easier.  Break down the upper and lower body elements of the stroke to ensure these is no wasted movement.
  • DYNAMIC WARMUP: Dynamic stretching is an excellent way to warm up for training and competition.  Learn the movements Margalis uses to warm up before workouts and meets and when incorporated into a daily workout can give a swimmer an edge above the competition.

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING: Get inside the minds of two of the best swimmers in the world.  Nymeyer and Margalis will dissect their stroke and explain what they think about when they swim in practices and races.

WATCH THE CLINICIANS: Observe Nymeyer and Margalis 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.
