Curriculum:
High Performance Freestyle Technique and an Introduction to Open Water Swimming

Freestyle: Freestyle is the most technical stroke and it is also the stroke that you swim more than any other. Chloe Sutton will be in the water teaching both basic foundations of technique all the way to challenging drills designed to help your swimmer approach technique differently at this high performance swim clinic. Skills will include:

• Bodyline: Your freestyle will never be fast without a strong bodyline. Your swimmer will learn to maintain good posture and engage their core to have a foudation for a stronger and faster freestyle.

• Kick: Become a stronger and faster kicker through learning about both the technqiue and timing of each kick from a two-time Olympian.

• Pull: The Freestyle arm pull has 5 parts. The goal is to be as efficient as possible in pushing your body past your hand. Your swimmer will learn to get more out of every stroke

• Rotation: Your swimmer will learn to utilize their rotation form more connection and power out of every stroke and every kick.

• Breath: All swimmers know to keep one goggle in and one goggle out when they take a breath, but do they know when and how long to breathe? Chloe will show you how to make each breath more efficient for faster freestyle racing no matter what distance.
