DAY 1 (SATURDAY, JUNE 08): MASTERING THE BACKSTROKE TECHNIQUE

Join Catching Water’s exclusive swimming clinic for Backstroke Technique, led by two-time Olympian Santiago Grassi and South-African Champion Josh Dannhauser. This clinic offers a unique opportunity to learn essential skills from athletes who understand the intricacies of competitive swimming.

Refining your backstroke technique can significantly enhance your performance in the pool. Backstroke is a technically demanding stroke that requires precise execution for optimal speed and efficiency. Proper body alignment, arm movement, and kick are crucial components of a successful backstroke. Maintaining a streamlined body position minimizes drag, allowing you to move through the water with less resistance. The pulling motion engages your back muscles to propel you forward, while the flutter kick provides additional propulsion from your lower body. Improving these aspects of your backstroke can lead to faster times and a more competitive edge in the water.

By attending this clinic, you’ll gain insights and techniques that can only come from those who have dedicated themselves to the sport. Don’t miss this chance to elevate your swimming skills and take your performance to the next level.

CURRICULUM:

BODYLINE: Maintaining a streamlined body position is crucial for fast backstroke swimming. Participants will focus on reducing unnecessary body movement, mastering proper posture, and engaging their core muscles. This solid foundation ensures better technique and a more hydrodynamic and efficient backstroke.

ROTATION: Backstroke speed and efficiency depend on rotating the body around the spine with each stroke. Engaging core muscles is essential for maintaining a proper bodyline. Participants will practice activating their core for a powerful connection from head to toe, leading to faster backstroke swimming.

KICK: The backstroke kick provides propulsion for the swimmer. Understanding correct kicking techniques is important, as is learning how to adjust leg movement for strength and speed.

PULL: Similar to freestyle, the backstroke pull helps maintain balance and accelerate forward movement. Participants will learn to achieve an early vertical forearm, known as the “high elbow catch,” which ensures immediate water pressure for efficient and rapid forward movement.

PRICE: $150USD per session. Payment can be made via Venmo, Zelle, or cash when checking in for the clinic.
