Description
This intensive supplemental workshop is intended for those who have established an efficiency foundation using a Total Immersion workshop. We’ll review and refine your technique with video analysis, provide personalized focal points for continuing improvement and teach you how to use stroke tempo training for “easy speed” to improve your pace for distances up to and beyond a mile.
We'll show you the strengths and weaknesses of your form – and how changes in pace affect your form. We’ll also cycle through a menu of focal points and use the Tempo Trainer to show you your specific priorities for speed development within practice sessions. You will leave with a clear plan for improvement and a guide for structuring your own workouts in the future.
Note: We will test your ability to maintain efficiency at a range of distances and tempos, some of them challenging. You will be better prepared if you’ve been in consistent practice for at least 2 to 3 hours per week before the workshop. Because of the volume of filming, additional materials and skill level of coaching required for this clinic, the ratio of swimmer-to-coach is different than that of the weekend workshops.
