Who Is This For?

The Better Freestyle Swim Clinic is for intermediate level swimmers who want to improve their skills for exercise and lap swimming, open water and triathlon swimmers. If you can swim a few laps but want to get in a good hour's swim, this program is for you.

Prerequisites

Able to swim at least one 25-yard lap without stopping. You will be swimming about 2,000 yards each practice with breaks for rest and instruction. This is not for beginners.

What You'll Learn

The program progresses through key freestyle fundamentals. The end result is a more efficient freestyle that enables you to comfortably swim for an hour or more.

  • Body positioning in the water
  • Efficient breathing technique
  • Stroke mechanics
  • Stroke timing & rhythm

What to Expect

You will join 12–14 other swimmers and share swim lanes across the pool. All coaching is on-deck, with detailed explanations about the drills and exercises. We use training fins for most practices to support good body positioning. None of the practices are designed to be "workouts" — they are skills-based. You'll receive your own copy of each practice on waterproof paper.

Equipment

One-piece training style swim suit
Well-fitting goggles
Personal copy of the practice on waterproof paper (provided)
Training fins (supplied or bring yours)
Kickboard and pull buoy (supplied or bring yours)
Monosnorkel (recommended)
