Past Clinic

STARTS: Set the tone for a great race with a powerful, streamlined and fast start. There are countless intricacies to performing a great start and you only get better with practice; Christine Magnuson and Klete Keller will share stories on how they found time to practice and improve their starts both in and out of the water and then they'll teach you some of their favorite strategies on how to execute this explosive and athletic movement.

STREAMLINE: Utilize the power of your streamline to slice through the water without resistance! Christine Magnuson and Kelte Keller will teach you the tricks that they use to keep their body tight and strong in their streamline position. 

  • Body Position: The simplest way to maintain your speed is a TIGHT STREAMLINE! Our world-class athletes will reinforce to you why they NEVER take streamlining for granted. Every fast swimmer must look like a rocket when they push off the wall! 

  • Reduce Drag: Work on eliminating water resistance for the tightest possible entry. Learn to squeeze the ears tightly and elongate the body for the most optimal position for ultimate acceleration in your streamline. 

UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: 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! Let our Olympian clinicians teach you how to make the most of your streamline and underwater kicking, as well as teach you drills on how to improve upon those skills.

  • Core Driven: Not a single great dolphin kicker kicks from their knees down! Our clinician will instruct you on how to engage your kick from the core, utilizing your chest press and hip drive to create a fluid undulating motion.

  • Kick Count and Frequency: It's hard to know how many kicks are most effective for maximizing your speed off of the start and walls. Our clinicians will help you figure out the right size, frequency, and count for you! 

BREAKOUTS: Carrying the speed from your start into the first stroke cycle is crucial for maintaining momentum. Learn the key components of a breakout that make you more confident during a race! 

  • TIMING: Learn to time your breakout so you can take advantage of the momentum from your amazing start!

  • HEAD POSITION: Don’t breathe on your first stroke! Break the water with your head down- maintaining body position and carrying the speed through the water.
