The water is your friend...you don't have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move

This comprehensive 3-part swimming clinic consists of three key components: dryland training, sequential stroke development, and video analysis. Participants will learn fundamental techniques to move efficiently through water while developing proper form and relaxation. The program benefits both novice and advanced swimmers who can swim 25 meters confidently without stopping.

Session 1: Understanding Water

• Develop fluid, relaxed approach to become one with water
• Understand why relaxation, not tension, is essential for efficient swimming
• Format: Comprehensive dryland instruction followed by pool practice with video analysis

Session 2: Breathing, Body Balance & Posture

• Master floating progression: basic floating → breathing control → optimal glide position
• Execute targeted drills for breakthrough understanding of swimming mechanics
• Compare perceived vs. actual movements through video analysis
• Learn proper arm recovery and hand entry techniques for freestyle
• Format: 30 minutes dryland instruction + 30 minutes in-water video feedback

Session 3: Power and Propulsion

• Understand force generation mechanics while maintaining optimal body position
• Perfect timing and movement sequencing for maximum power, propulsion and glide
• Focus on muscle engagement and stretch for enhanced stroke performance
• Format: Combined dryland and pool instruction with video feedback and review

Key Benefits

• Transform tension into effortless gliding
• Reduce energy expenditure during swimming
• Improve race times through better efficiency
• Receive personalized technique analysis

Our Philosophy

Swimming is about working with the water, not against it. Through our proven methodology, athletes learn to replace muscular tension with relaxation, allowing natural buoyancy to create effortless forward motion.
