Space is limited! SESSION 1 & 2: STARTS AND UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING The start is your opportunity to cover as much ground as possible in a very short period of time, with great efficiency and momentum heading into your underwater kicking and breakout. There are countless intricacies to performing a start and you only get better with practice. Klete Keller will share his experience on how he found time to practice and improve his start both in and out of the water and teach your swimmer some of his most effective strategies to execute this explosive and athletic movement. STARTS: How you set up on the block including proper hand and foot placement can allow your swimmer to launch themselves forward with a lot of explosive power. Klete will work with each swimmer to find their best position on the block as well as how to keep their body line straight and strong as they send their body forward with a lot of speed and power. Finally, he'll ensure that each swimmer is entering cleanly through a small hole in a tight streamline. UNDERWATER DOLPHIN KICKING: The not-so-secret weapon of elite level swimmers is their underwater dolphin kick. Klete Keller is known as one of the best underwater dolphin kickers in the world and he specializes in teaching swimmers how to unlock their potential in this important skill. SESSIONS 3 & 4: FLIP TURNS, OPEN TURNS, AND FINISHES Most age group swimmers add in extra movements on their open turns, flip turns, and finishes that slow them down and prevent them from carrying their momentum through the turn and into the finish! Even at Olympic Trials we see many very fast swimmers who miss making finals and even the Olympic team because of the quKletety of their turns and finishes! The turn and finish are both opportunities for a swimmer to actually GAIN MOMENTUM, when in fact most swimmers actually slow down. At both of these sessions, three-time Olympian Klete Keller will be in the water teaching your swimmer how to improve their turns and finishes so that they can drop time! FLIP TURNS: Your swimmer will learn how to carry their momentum through the turn to get in and out of every wall faster. Swimmers will practice accelerating into the wall with long strokes and then using their core and arms to get through the turn. They'll practice planting their feet on the wall for a powerful pushoff in the perfect streamline. Klete will give the swimmers drills and exercises to help them master this athletic skill now as well as in the future! OPEN TURNS: Think about the open turn differently! You should not be making an open to turn around and swim the next lap. If you're doing this - you're actually stopping and then trying to regain speed again. An expertly executed open turn involves spinning backwards. This enables you to carry momentum into the pushoff. We're going to teach you how to cut a lot of time on this turn... helping you in all of your breaststroke and butterfly races! FINISHES: Races can be won and lost by hundredths of a second. Many races come down to the very last stroke. Your swimmer will learn how to drive their legs, elongate their arms, and keep their head down so that your swimmer doesn't waste any time or strokes as they approach the wall. ASK QUESTIONS Swimmers and parents are invited to ask Klete questions during a Q&A session. Gain insight into his training regimen, diet and nutrition, and recovery tactics. WATCH THE CLINICIAN Observe Klete swim at full speed and demonstrate a progression of perfectly executed drills to achieve powerful, efficient and fast swimming. PUT YOUR SKILLS TO THE TEST Swimmers will get to practice what they've learned by taking their stroke to top speed with one of the best swimmers in the world! They'll work on holding onto their form while challenging themselves. Take a photo while wearing Klete's medals, get autographs, and a gift from TYR Sport! Inquisitive, Educated Swimmers are Faster Swimmers! Sign up today!
