Building a Better Freestyle Clinic Recap |
|
GOFFSTOWN, NH -- On Sunday June 13, nine NELMSC members participated in the “Building a Better Freestyle clinic” conducted by USMS Level 4 coach, Bill Meier.
Through a series of progressive drills, Bill expertly broke down the components of an effective freestyle stroke including: balance, body alignment, kicking technique and propulsion. Despite the varying backgrounds and abilities, all participants gained tremendous benefit from the mindful attention to the various components of their stroke. The benefit was particularly evident in the improvements made in their efficiency in the two hour session.
Following the drill work, Bill filmed each swimmer's stroke above and below the surface and provided a detailed analysis which we reviewed as a group. This process enabled us to better understand the components of an efficient stroke while also utilizing Bill’s feedback to improve our individual freestyle technique.
Without question, Bill’s expertise enabled each of us to come away with a better understanding of our strokes as well as some tips in how to improve upon our newfound efficiency. By all indications the clinic was a huge success and we all left excited to continue improving our freestyle efficiency.

July is Try Masters Swimming Month |
|
Try Masters Swimming is a chance to introduce adults to the life-changing benefits of Masters Swimming. People are happier when they swim, and we want everyone to experience that feeling.
During the month of July, anyone can try a FREE workout at participating clubs nationwide. Why July? Because it's between the two biggest swimming events of the year: the U.S. Olympic Team swimming trials and the Tokyo Olympics. It's the big moment every four years—usually :)—when nearly everyone has an interest in the sport we love. Instead of just hearing people talk about swimming this year, let's get them to actually try it.
Clubs, make sure to check out this information page that walks through how to participate, best practices for promotion, timelines, coach contests, a toolbox with premade graphics, press releases, sample emails, and more.
Members, we need your help to promote as well. Check out this information page on how to get involved even if you club can’t participate in Try Masters Swimming this year.
