Curriculum

DAY 1 (SATURDAY): STARTS AND STREAMLINES

The start is your swimmer’s opportunity to cover as much ground as possible in a very short period of time with great efficiency and momentum heading into a tight streamline streamline. There are countless intricacies to performing a start, and it will only improve with practice. Olympian Kat SImonovic, Tucker Dupree, and Coach Chris Morgan have spent countless hours practicing starts and streamlining will show your swimmer how to be explosive and efficient with each movement.

STARTS: Your swimmer’s proper hand and foot placement on the block can allow them to drive forward with a lot of explosive power. Kat, Tucker, and Chris 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.
STREAMLINES: Swimmers should be in a tight streamline position off every start and turn. Squeezing the elbows to the ears and having flat overlapped hands will reduce drag and maintain a lot of momentum with little additional effort. Kat Simonovic, Tucker Dupree, and Chris Morgan will provide participants with a form that presents very little resistance to the flow of water, increasing speed and ease of movement.

DAY 2 (SUNDAY): FLIP TURNS & UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING

Mastering the details of a race can 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 a compact flip turn and powerful dolphin kicks will help your swimmer gain speed on every wall.

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!
UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: The fastest swimmers know how to weaponize their dolphin kicking. It is absolutely, undeniably, the fastest way to move through the water! Whether you dolphin kick on your stomach, side, or back, understanding the importance of streamlined, underwater speed is vital for every swimmer!
