This class can be tailored to the needs of your swimmer and I can make a specific training plan designed for him/her.   Or I can do through all of the key performance factors of each of the swim strokes that are of interest to your athlete.  

Stroke-specific movements help develop proper form and build muscle memory.  I can do dry land coaching for all 4 competitive swim strokes;  backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle.  

The key performance factors of the stroke will be coached for each of the following:
1.  Body/head position
2.  Legs/kick
3.  Arms/pull
4.  Breathing
5.  Timing

I will focus on body stability, engaging the core, and proper positioning.

I will talk about why form is important and how doing it properly in the water makes a difference with regard to efficiency and reducing the risk of injury.  Swimming is all about science.

The general class outline will be as follows;

2 minutes of welcome/greeting

2-3 minutes activation (warming up the body)

10 minutes of review

15-20 minutes of a new concept

We’ll spend time on stroke-specific movement patterns.  At times I’ll make use of effective videos to demonstrate correct form.  Some classes may entirely be “whiteboard” classes.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Safety is always the top priority when doing anything physical. The movements we’ll be doing together are not strenuous but I always caution my athletes before every class to stop if they feel any pain and to let me know. Be sure to have an open space that is free of clutter (no coffee tables, nothing lying around that could be tripped over etc.). Wear proper footwear and exercise clothes, have a water bottle, use of a yoga mat is helpful if your athlete is working on a hard surface. It is important that your athlete follows directions and goes at my pace.
Supply List
*a clutter-free space to move around
*water bottle
*running shoes
*comfortable clothes for easy movement and light exercise

Optional:  
*if you’re on a hard surface you may want a yoga mat to lie on or kneel on

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate
I have 8 years of experience coaching a competitive swim club.  I am certified at swim coach level 1 and have been trained at level 2.  Currently, I’m the head coach of our swim club.  I train all 4 competitive strokes, underwater dolphin kicking, proper starts, open turns and flip turns.  

I coach zoom dry land training for my athletes and find it to be very effective in correcting form, improving technique and especially developing muscle memory to form good habits in the water.
