University of Illinois Co-ed Stroke Technique Swimming Camp - Swimming Camps

• University of Illinois Urbana, IL Urbana, Illinois

The stroke technique camp is designed for the competitive swimmer want- ing an intensive approach to stroke instruction. All four strokes will be covered with the ultimate goal being the fundamental, long term develop- ment of the swimmer and their technique. During camp the athletes will be introduced to a comprehensive dryland training program. Education is the goal with our focus on general strength and conditioning, core strength and stability, as well as flexibility. Specific attention will be given to shoulder strength and stability and muscular imbalances common to swimming. Finally the campers will participate in group discussions covering topics of nutrition, mental preparation, and race strategy. The camper to coach ratio during instructional sessions will be a maximum of 8:1. This helps ensure a positive learning experience for all our campers during their stay.
