Baltimore Area Tri Club Swim Clinic At the Merritt Athletic Club
The Baltimore Area Triathlon Club will be hosting a swim clinic on February 27th at 8 AM.
Curriculum
The clinic will consist of 90 minutes of classroom session discussing freestyle swim technique and establishing an overall model of what freestyle swimming looks and feel like. As part of this we will address head position, rotation around your long axis, timing of your pull and arm recovery, breathing so that you don't disturb your stroke, and how to shape your arm and hands for maximum propulsion.
These five areas address the most common mistakes seen in freestyle swimming.
Following that will be 2 hours of in pool instruction with multiple coaches to establish what your particular deficiency is and fix it.
There will then be a lunch break. After lunch there are a limited number of video analysis slots available. The video analysis will go from 1 PM to 3 PM and include a before video, more correction time and an after video.
Instructor
The head coach will be Kevin Joubert. Kevin has been coaching triathletes and masters swimmers for 9 years. He is certified by the American Swim Coaches Association as a level 4 masters swim coach and is certified by USA Triathlon as a level 2 triathlon coach. There will be several assistant coaches also on deck to make sure you get ample feedback on your swimming.
