BREASTSTROKE: COMPREHENSIVE RACING CAMP

August 6-8: Groups A & B | August 10-12: Group C

More than any other stroke, breaststroke is the most varied. Out of the eight finalists at the Olympic Games, you might see eight different styles of strokes! A swimmer's timing and ability to eliminate resistance are both hallmarks of an efficient and powerful breaststroker. Participants have the foundation; now, they will work with our elite clinicians on how to utilize core and hip drive to create a fluid and more forward driving stroke and accelerate in and out of every wall and execute powerful pullouts.
