“I can’t tell you how helpful this clinic has been for my stroke. I still have work to do on technique but the difference in my stroke feels like night and day. Ayesha was amazed at the changes when I went to one of her workouts last week. The stroke count drill last night was a great litmus test – for years I have been pretty much exactly 16 strokes per length. When we counted last night, even when I was going against the current I was down to 15. I expect that you have dropped my average stroke count per length by probably about 3, which makes a major difference in shoulder fatigue over longer distances. If I can just get my stroke synced up with body rotation I am hopeful that the pain I feel in my shoulder after lots of distance training will disappear altogether (and it is already greatly diminished).
Thank you so much for everything!” –Maureen L
Come get a quick snapshot of where your technique is at!
Seeing yourself swim can make a big difference in understanding what changes you need to make. During this session participants will be videotaped underwater and immediately after being videotaped, all participants will view the video, and with the guidance and analysis of our expert coach, identify 1-2 key areas for each swimmer to focus on for future improvements.
This is a great way to establish a baseline of technique and to track change over time and very useful to repeat if it’s been a while since you’ve seen yourself swim and had your stroke analyzed.

Do you ever wonder how the top swimmers can stay balanced at low speeds?
Or why swimmers who are less fit, weaker or smaller can go faster than you?
Team Atomica coaches know the secret and it is in a Powerful Sculling Action.
In this session, you will learn what sculling is and why it holds the key to balance, power and ultimately speed. You will learn the mechanics and practice the movement patterns needed for an effective Power Sculling action in this unique, 55 min clinic that covers Basic Sculling, 5 Position Sculling and Drills.

Trying to swim fast on your own can be scary due to the thought of injury and because it can be physically painful.
In this session, Team Atomica coaches will guide you through the elements of swim speed in a safe, and supportive – yet challenging – environment. You will come away understanding what stroke and movement elements you need to alter in order to swim as fast as possible. Perfect for athletes wanting to be able to get faster over short distances of 25-100m.
Training at V02 max – ie going full out – should be done on a weekly basis and is critical to remaining cardiovascularly ‘young’ as we age. This session will teach you the methods, and give you the confidence to bring V02 max training into your workouts.
