Sunday Swim Series - January

Focusing on starts and turns will be a great way to start the season.  For some swimmers the Festival meet will be two weeks after the clinics. Other swimmers will use the skills in the upcoming meets. The clinic’s focus will be on reviewing and establishing skills of the starts and turns. The focus for turns will be on the rotation on the wall and how to make it faster, followed by a strong push-off phase, followed by a great streamline, then a gliding phase, dolphin kicking, and breakout or breaststroke underwater pull out. The start exercises will emphasize a strong push-off followed by smooth entry (eliminate splashing) and the transition to swimming.
