The Fundamentals of Stroke Camp

Our popular Stroke Technique Camp will provide your athlete with the tools to perform all four major strokes with confidence and efficiency. All swimmers are led through drill progressions and mini-sets focused on building on foundational work with cutting-edge technique. Each day swimmers will learn the basics about the “stroke of the day”, as well as video analysis, dryland, and coaches’ specialty talks

Start and Turns Camp

During the Starts, Turns and Underwater Kick Camp, the coaching staff will utilize the latest techniques to instruct swimmers on taking advantage of the most powerful aspect of racing; including flat starts, relay starts, turns and transitions. We will also teach underwater kick (the fifth stroke)/streamline to maximize their strength off the block or out of their turns. Swimmers should be able to perform block starts and turns to an effective degree before attending this camp. The camp will allow for plenty of coaching feedback and video analysis, with minimal interruption from their established clubs and training regimen.
