Workshop Curriculum:

Saturday (9:00am – 4:00pm)

TI Session 1: (2hr 15min)

TI Session 1 will begin with a “before” video of your current stroke (if one exists) which will be used during a video analysis session before lunch. TI session 1 will then begin with the basic balance skills of drag reduction. You will learn proper head position, postural alignment, achieve effortless ease and support from the water. You will also learn how to breathe during the balance drill sequence. TI session 1 will progress to the introduction of whole body movement. You will begin to imprint effortless core body rotations with accuracy and consistency through the first drill of the switching drill sequence.

Lunch Break: (1hr)
Bring your own lunch, information will be provided to the dining options within close proximity of the workshop location.

CR Session 1: (2hrs)

CR session 1 will begin with an introduction to the keys of effortless, injury free running. You will develop an understanding of the physics of running, and the main differences between power running and CHI Running. CR session 1 will the progress through the skills of the CR form, which begin with the four main components: posture, lean, ankle lift, and arm swing. When running is introduced, you will learn how to access gears, develop stride length, and learn the significance of cadence.


Sunday (9:00am – 4:00pm)

TI Session 2: (2hrs 15min)

TI session 2 will begin by introducing the second of the switching drill sequence, which develops the skills needed to initiate the recovery phase of the stroke cycle. You will learn to link these arm movements into the whole body movements learned in TI session 1. Progress will occur as you begin to draw the arm out on the water to full arm recovery. You will use simple arm rehearsals to continue to imprint new muscle memory. Rhythmical movement will transition the stroke from drilling to swimming with coordination, ease and flow. Session 2 will conclude with a second video taping of some drilling, and an “after” view of the freestyle stroke.

Lunch Break: (1hr)
Bring your own lunch, information will be provided to the dining options within close proximity of the workshop location.

CR Session 2: (1hr 30min)

CR Session 2 will begin with core muscle drills and exercises to continue developing and reinforcing the skills learned in session 1. Session 2 will incorporate the CR technique to hills, and conclude with a video taping for classroom analysis.

Classroom Session: (1hr 30min)
This classroom time will be used to view all video files with individual analysis of each student. The remaining time will be used for program discussion on how to incorporate the TI and CR skills into your training regime. Workshop will conclude with a final Q & A.
