Curriculum
CLASS STRUCTURE
This program is designed for swimmers ages 12 & older to find calm, focus, and their own inner strength through dryland movements and other techniques. Olympic medalist Kim Vandenberg will work with each participant in this program to process outside stressors and reduce anxiety in an age appropriate way. Participants in this program will get a great workout while also practicing great self care to become a more confident athlete! The class structure is explained below:
- Welcome and Check-in: Kim will begin each class with an introduction where she will give a brief talk about mindfulness. Participants will get to check in with their current state of mind and relax before beginning the workout. Each class will have a unique intention to keep connected to throughout the remainder of the class.
- Warm-up with Breath Work: Breath work can both warm the body before entering into a workout while also boosting one's mood. Kim will lead participants through breathing exercises designed to warm up the swimmers both physically and mentally for the workout to come.
- Dryland Sequence: Most of the class will be a yoga/pilates style workout designed to increase strength and flexibility while focusing greatly on core work. Flow through challenging exercises and postures with Kim as she ensures that the participants maintain excellent form.
- Cool Down and Meditation: As the class begins to come to an end, Kim will guide the participants through a short meditation to calm the mind and build confidence.
- Class Closing: Kim will end the class with a quote or story to send off the participants feeling inspired as they go about their day. Participants are also welcome to ask Kim questions before leaving the class.
