![]() ![]() 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) I honestly don't recommend this for younger children.Championship Prep: Starts, Turns, Underwaters, Breakouts and Finishes - February 4 & 5 It was also cool you could paddle board and kayak, but those activities were not allowed on the entire lake just certain areas. It was nice to have lifeguards on duty and they had a fun floating obstacle course for older kids around 11-14. I couldn't even imagine doing that with two younger kids and one parent!! A bit of an ordeal for a one parent and child outing. Also the bathrooms are located outside of the fenced off beach area, so if you have a child who needs to use the restroom, you have to leave the area to go to the front of the pavilion, and then get buzzed back into the fenced in beach area. The beach area looked nice from afar, but was not very well kept, which is surprising since we paid $14 to get into the beach area. ![]() The lake is beautiful and than there is this huge plant just there. However, I could not get over the large ominous chemical plant lurking over the lake on horizon. It stays a bit chilly as it is a Spring fed lake.
