Great experience with Amy and Cierra!! They were both approachable before, after and during the sessions. Helping the swimmers, giving praise throughout the succession of drills and constructive feedback in a fun group way. My swimmer keyed in one these 3 components and shared them with other backstroker’s at practice on Monday. Kick is most important should be narrow and fast knees under the water, rotisserie chicken for how the body should be positioned and moving in the water and on starts hands, head and hips. She also loved the no saggy booties example when doing the canoe drill. That got a lot of laughs at practice.
I’m in my 4th year of coaching and attending a clinic like this one reinforced that I’m teaching my 12 & under correctly while at the same time learned some fun new ways to explain those drills. Would entertain attending more of the fitter & faster clinics with my swimmers but there just doesn’t seem to be that many taught in AZ. Traveling distances with adding those costs prohibits my swimmers from attending.
As a coach attending with my swimmer I enjoyed the 1:1 time with Amy & Cierra before everyone else arrived.
