Their open turns are actually not “turns”, but more like high-speed pivots. OPEN TURNS: Elite butterflyers and breaststrokers utilize speed from their last lap to create momentum and even more speed at the beginning of the next lap.We will work with your swimmer to produce fast flip turns so that they can explode off the walls at maximum speed. FLIP TURNS: Flip turns are an opportunity for your swimmers to increase momentum in the middle of a race! Flip turns in which the athletes slow down or have “mechanical” movements negatively impact the speed at which a swimmer comes off the wall.Outside of the elite ranks, most swimmers stop or slow down while going into the wall, which kills their momentum! We will work with participants on the intricacies of approaching every wall at top speed and seamlessly initiating their “turn”. MOMENTUM: At the elite level of swimming, walls aren’t just used for turning around - they are used to generate speed and momentum going into the next lap.Today, we're going to work with your swimmer on taking this crucial part of every race (and practice) to the next level! Elite swimmers are constantly working their turns and looking for areas to improve them. The top age group and elite swimmers aren't using walls just for turning around - they are used to generate speed and momentum going into the next lap. Quick, powerful turns and finishes are crucial to fast times and winning close races. Participants will work on timing their breakouts to explode into each lap.ĭay 2: FASTER FLIP TURNS, OPEN TURNS & FINISHES (Feb 5) BREAKOUTS: Many swimmers add movement within their breakout that creates drag and destroys all of the speed created during their underwaters.They want to avoid losing their breath and taking weak kicks. ![]() Elite swimmers want to spend only the absolute necessary amount of time underwater to establish speed with each length. NUMBER OF UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKS: Figuring out the optimal number of kicks off each wall, for each race, is essential to fast swimming.We will show your swimmer the different techniques that elite swimmers use and teach them how to implement. The common theme of these techniques is that the best swimmers kick up and down with equal power. POWERFUL UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: There are a few different techniques that swimmers use when underwater dolphin kicking.Your swimmer is going to learn how to time when to begin their underwater dolphin kicking. They also don’t want to start the underwater dolphin kicking after their streamline has begun to slow. So, they don’t want to start their underwater dolphin kicking while they’re still achieving maximum speed in their streamline. INITIATING UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: Elite swimmers want to maximize their streamline on every single lap. ![]() Your swimmer will get tips to improve their streamline and a better appreciation of what they need to do on every single wall in practice and in races. ![]() Even the most elite swimmers in the world are constantly working on improving their streamline. Proper streamlines are even faster than underwater dolphin kicking. STREAMLINE: The streamline - if done properly - will be the fastest a swimmer travels while in the water.The elite clinicians will work with participants on the optimal positioning of your swimmer’s entire body to allow for a quick reaction time and optimal speed. BLOCK STARTS: To ensure an explosive start, a swimmer needs to set themselves up properly on the block.Day 1 of this swim camp will help your swimmer improve their start, underwater dolphin kicking and breakouts! This sequence is not only the fastest part of every race, but it is also the part of the race in which elite swimmers cover the most ground with the most efficiency. The better a swimmer’s technique is off the starting block, the more speed they will carry into the water. The momentum generated from an explosive start and turns are the FASTEST that elite swimmers are moving in a race! The more efficient, powerful and hydrodynamic your swimmer is, directly impacts their speed and distance they travel in the water before taking their first stroke!ĭay 1: EXPLOSIVE STARTS, UNDERWATERS & BREAKOUTS (Feb 4) Championship Prep: Starts, Turns, Underwaters, Breakouts and Finishes - February 4 & 5 ![]()
