Curriculum
11 & Under Curriculum: Slay the DRAGon
Your swimmer must learn how to swim through the water with the least amount of resistance. It is important because it allows swimmers to get MORE distance and speed out of every start, turn, and streamline. The best swimmers in the world aren’t just strong, they also know how to swim through the water without drag. Sign up for this high performance swim clinic on drag reduction with Olympic gold medalist Gunnar Bentz! Slay the DRAGon in your:
- Starts
- Streamlines
- Turn Push-Offs
- AND in your Strokes!
12 & Over Curriculum: Championship Meet Preparation
Little things can go a long way on race day. As an Olympic gold medalist, Gunnar Bentz knows what it takes to step up on the blocks at the end of the season and make it happen! Learn from him where your focus should be as you wrap up your season and prepare for your end of season meet!
- STARTS: Explode off the blocks and blast ahead of the competition! Learn how to improve your reaction time, drive through your legs, and enter in a tight streamline. Begin each race with an advantage by learning from Gunnar!
- FEEL FOR THE WATER: Gunnar will help the participants at this clinic "tune-up" their strokes by practicing feel for the water drills. Grab and grip onto the water to get more distance out of each stroke. This is a skill that all elite athletes have. Give your swimmer the opportunity to learn how to develop this skill now and in the future.
- BODYLINE: The foundation of every stroke and streamline is a strong body line. Gunnar will work with participants on how to maintain the proper posture to slice through the water with less resistance. Engage your core and hold the proper head position so you can swim faster with less effort!
- MENTAL PREPARATION: You've done the work... now it's time to show the world what you've got! When you step up on the blocks, what is going through your head? Gunnar will work with participants to find the right mindset so they can dive in with confidence and finish with a big smile!
