CURRICULUM: Faster Backstroke and Underwater Dolphin Kicking
Don't waste any more time swimming incorrectly. This event is your opportunity to take your swimming to the next level. Participants at this event will leave with more knowledge on proper technique, an arsenal of drills to improve form and strength, and inspiration to last the whole season. Don't be left behind!
BACKSTROKE: Drop time in all of your backstroke races! Olympic medalist Nick Thoman will help each participant identify the key factors to build a balanced and propulsive backstroke. It will require a strong core, a small and steady kick, proper head position, and a pull pattern where pressure is put immediately backwards on the water.
UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: The fastest swimmers know how to weaponize their dolphin kicking. It is 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 Nick 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.
