Description:
Have you hit a wall in your stroke development? Are you looking for some top-quality feedback as you continue your journey to speed and efficiency?
This supplemental clinic is intended for those who have established an efficiency foundation using a Total Immersion workshop or through TI Self-Help DVDs. We’ll review and refine your technique with video analysis, provide personalized focal points for continuing improvement and guide you through some of the most common problems people find as they are changing their stroke.
You will be filmed from above and below water angles, to show you the strengths and weaknesses of your developing stroke. We will offer in-pool feedback to help you smooth out rough angles and develop better flow. If there’s a hitch in your drills, we’ll guide you to better practice. If you took a workshop and felt immediate change but haven’t seen the same continued improvement afterwards, this is the clinic to show you a route back to Kaizen- continuous improvement.
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 filming provided, and skill level of coaching required for this clinic, the ratio of swimmer-to-coach is different than that of the weekend workshops.
SCHEDULE: (subject to minor revision):
5:30 – 7:00 Pool Session- filming, tempo work, focal point rotation, second filming
7:00 - 7:30 Classroom Session for analysis and development of improvement plan
WHAT TO BRING:
For the classroom: Medical Release form & Easy Freestyle Users Guide sent to you on registration.
For the pool: An extra suit & towel if you want dry ones for the afternoon swim, an extra pair of goggles. We recommend that male students wear a Speedo-type brief, square-leg, jammer suit or close-fitting triathlon swim shorts, rather than loose-fitting swim trunks, which can make balance even more of a challenge due to increases weight and drag.
