YOUTH SWIM CLINICS
Helping young swimmers reach their full potential
Improve. In Real-Time. Really.
FUTURE CHAMPIONS
Swimmers who understand efficiency, not just how to work hard, may be able to train less, still move quickly, and reduce the chance of injury.
We know that most swimmers in the 12 – 14 year old age group, will get faster if they train harder, and/or longer – this is a natural consequence as their developing bodies start to be able to endure higher training loads, but this is not true for all, and often, not all potential is achieved.
In this 3 week clinic, Coach Kelvin Landolt will slow the instruction down, so that swimmers can be taught ideas, drills and exercises, that will allow new brain-body connections to be made. Young swimmers will be given skills, that will allow them to continue to improve, when simply adding more training load stops working for them.
Concepts taught can be beneficial to all 4 strokes
