Past Clinic

If you can master the essentials of swimming, you can build strong, efficient strokes. Olympian Scott Weltz will teach participants the skills he has successfully learned to become a fast and powerful swimmer.

Participants will be taught breaststroke and butterfly techniques that can be applied and make an impact on any stroke. Swimmers will leave this clinic with knowledge on how to improve performance in practice as well as learn mental skills that increase confidence for racing.

Curriculum, Fundamentals of Efficient Breaststroke and Butterfly - Tracy, CA

 BREASTSTROKE

BUTTERFLY

  • EFFICIENT BODYLINE:  Having a neutral bodyline allows for the most efficient movement through the water.  Weltz will teach drills that promote a neutral bodyline to maintain momentum and serve as the foundation for butterfly movement.
  • RHYTHM AND UNDULATION: Properly undulating enables a fluid and easy way to perform butterfly. Using a progression of drills, Weltz will teach this technique and how it is used to propel the body forward rhythmically. 
  • INITIATING THE KICK:  An essential skill for powerful butterfly is finding the optimal point to start the kick.  Learn how Weltz utilizes his entire body for the kick in order to create the most power for each stroke.

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

GET UP AND RACE: Race one of the best swimmers in the world and watch his near-flawless technique - achieved by practicing the same drills he will teach you.

HEAR FROM SCOTT

  • 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.
  • DYNAMIC WARMUP: A dynamic warmup is an integral part of every practice and meet.  Learn the exercises that Weltz has done that have helped him get to the top.
  • ASK QUESTIONS: Swimmers and parents are invited to ask the clinician questions during a Q&A session.  Hear the Olympian talk and gain insight into his training regimen, diet and nutrition, and recovery tactics.
  • WHAT IS HE THINKING: Get inside the mind of one of the best swimmers in the world.  Weltz will dissect his stroke and explain what he thinks about when he swims in practices and races.
