Curriculum

DAY 1 (SATURDAY): STARTS AND FLIP TURNS

Mastering the details of a race may be the difference between a good swim and a great one. The fastest your swimmer will be moving is after the start and turn, so maximizing this momentum is a critical way to drop time. Practicing these movements will help your swimmer gain speed on every wall.

STARTS: Your swimmer’s proper hand and foot placement on the block can allow them to drive forward with a lot of explosive power. Olympians Matt Targett and Brett Fraser will work with your swimmer to find the best position on the block as well as how to launch their body forward efficiently into a tight streamline and enter the water through a small hole.
FLIP TURNS: Your swimmer will learn to carry their momentum through the turn to get in and out of every wall faster. Swimmers will practice accelerating into the wall, using their core and arms to get through the turn, and planting the feet on the wall for a powerful push off in the perfect streamline. Swimmers will learn drills and exercises to help them master this athletic skill!

DAY 2 (SUNDAY): ELITE FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE

Freestyle is the stroke swam more than any other in races and practices. Creating and cultivating good habits now will not only make your swimmer faster but will also reduce the risk for injuries in the long term. Olympians Matt Targett and Brett Fraser will lead participants through a progression of drills that will allow them to deepen their understanding of each part of the freestyle stroke and help create good habits for fast and efficient freestyle technique.

BODY LINE: Your swimmer's freestyle will never be fast without a strong bodyline. Your swimmer will reinforce good posture and engage their core to have a strong foundation for a faster freestyle.
ROTATION: Participants will learn to utilize their rotation to form more connection and power out of every pull and kick.
KICK: Your swimmer will become a stronger and faster kicker through learning about both the technique and timing of each kick.
PULL: The best swimmers in the world utilize an early vertical forearm to put immediate pressure back on the water. Matt and Brett will also teach swimmers how to get maximum extension and a powerful finish to the stroke! Learn new drills and exercises to get more power from every stroke.
BREATH: All swimmers know to keep one goggle in and one goggle out of the water when they take a breath, but do they know when and how long to breathe? Matt and Brett will show your swimmer how to make each breath more efficient for faster freestyle racing no matter what distance.
