Indiana Green Flag Series - Freestyle and Backstroke Fundamentals

This clinic is designed to be a fun, inspirational, and educational experience for swimmers with 3 years of less of experience to learn the details of fast techique while they build on their love for swimming! American Record Holder Giles Smith will teach you the KEY components to a strong backstroke and Olympian Lacey Nymeyer will help you master freestyle technqiue!

  • FREESTYLE: Learn how to hold a straight and solid body line so that you can rocket through the water with less drag. Keep your head still and low in the water while driving your kick. Lacey will also teach participants how to get an early and powerful press backwards on the water with your pull. You swim freestyle more than any other stroke. Learn how to swim it effectively!

  • BACKSTROKE: Engaging your core not only allows you to swim stronger, but it also allows you to hold the proper body line. Giles will help swimmers learn the importance of rotation and how to use it to your advantage. Backstrokers are often the fastest kickers on their teams, find out why!

Efficiency is all about powerful swimming with minimal drag. Learn how to slay the DRAGon as well as how to use the science of physics to swim faster and train more effectively! Learn from two of the fastest swimmers in the world at this swim clinic!

  • Slay the DRAGon: Reducing drag is imperative if you want to move through the water quickly and efficiently. Finding a streamlined body position will help you reduce the water resistance so that you go faster! At this clinic, Lacey Nymeyer and Giles Smith will teach participants how to maximize their speed by becoming more hydrodynamic! Slay the DRAGon!

  • Freestyle: Freestyle is the most complex stroke. The techique in freestyle requires patience, balance, and timing in order to maximize the effectiveness of each pull and kick. Learn how to use your rotation for power and time your breath for a faster stroke. Learn from a freestyle Olympian and improve!

  • Backstroke: The connection throughout your body allows you to take your backstroke from good to great. Learn to connect your arms, legs, and core so that each movement is a full body exercise and takes you further down the pool. Giles Smith will help you excel and get ahead of the competition!
