Curriculum

SESSION 1 & 2: DIVES AND UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING

The start is your opportunity to cover as much ground as possible in a very short period of time, with great efficiency and momentum heading into your underwater kicking and breakout. There are countless intricacies to performing a start and you only get better with practice. Brett Hawke and Tucker Dupree will share their experiences on how they found time to practice and improve their starts both in and out of the water and teach your swimmer some of their most effective strategies to execute this explosive and athletic movement.

STARTS: How you set up on the block including proper hand and foot placement can allow your swimmer to explode forward with a lot of explosive power. Brett and Tucker will work with each swimmer to find their best position on the block as well as how to launch their body forward into a tight streamline and enter through a small hole.
UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: The not-so-secret weapon of elite level swimmers is their underwater dolphin kick. The fastest swimmers in the world are faster underwater than on the surface and they utilize this skill. Tucker Dupree and Brett Hawke will teach your swimmer how to unlock the speed and power of their underwater dolphin kick to race faster and drop more time.

SESSION 3: 11 & Under FAST AND EFFICIENT FREESTYLE

Freestyle is the most technical stroke and it is also the stroke that you swim more than any other. Tucker Dupree will be in the water leading participants through each part of the freestyle stroke and Brett Hawke will teach drills to help them deepen their understanding of fast and efficient freestyle technique.

Bodyline: Your freestyle will never be fast without a strong bodyline. Your swimmer will learn to maintain good posture and engage their core to have a foundation for a stronger and faster freestyle.
Kick: Become a stronger and faster kicker through learning about both the technique and timing of each kick from two swimmers who have reached the highest level of the sport.
Pull: The best swimmers in the world utilize an early vertical forearm to put immediate pressure back on the water. She will also teach swimmers how to get maximum extension and a powerful finish! Learn new drills and exercises to get more power out of every stroke!
Rotation: Participants will learn to utilize their rotation form more connection and power out of every pull and every kick.
Breath: All swimmers know to keep one goggle in and one goggle out when they take a breath, but do they know when and how long to breathe? Brett and Tucker will show you how to make each breath more efficient for faster freestyle racing no matter what distance.

SESSION 4: 12 & Over Elite Sprint Freestyle Technique

This clinic is designed to help participants unlock their explosive abilities in sprint freestyle.

Sprint Freestyle Technique: You won't believe how much you'll learn from two of the best swimmers and coaches in the world! The technique in your sprint freestyle stroke is so important to being able to get the maximum speed and power out of every pull and kick. Your swimmer will learn technique for an effective kick, how to achieve a powerful and balanced rotation, a fast arm pull, a quick and low breath, and how to accelerate each stroke for maximum speed!
Sprint Racing Strategy: How many strokes do you take in your 50? How many breaths? Dolphin Kicks? This three-time Olympic coach Brett Hawke and Paralympian Tucker Dupree will work with you so that you can find the right formula for success.
