Clinic details
Everyone says “You’re a good swimmer. You’re so lucky!” You know you still have room for improvement, but never see a clinic that feels like it will target your needs. This is that clinic. Breakthrough Performance Coaching coach Sue Sotir will examine what you're doing well and then identify technique refinements that will help you increase what you get out of each stroke your take, reduce your drag, and take you from already solid to even faster and more efficient. This 90-minute clinic will take place entirely in the BU Fit Rec Pool area with time on the pool deck and plenty of time in the water.
Who's it for and what you will learn
This clinic is for average to above triathletes, open water swimmers, and pool swimmers who have solid technique and solid speed, but want to continue to improve their mechanics and speed. Attendees will learn:
- How drag impacts your swim speed and what to do about it
- An understanding of the mechanics of the shoulder and shoulder blade and how they contribute to force production in freestyle
- How buoyancy, gravity, thrust, and drag interact
- How to modify your already solid swim to make it more efficient and effective
What to bring
This is a pool-based swim clinic so come prepared to swim!
