[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other post about Fitter and Faster swim camps got me thinking. Club swim coaches don’t focus a lot on technique, they seem more about the yardage.

Where does one get help with stroke technique? I’m located in NoVa. Thanks![/quote]

So what parents do not realize is the drill sets your swimmer is doing is the focus on technique.  Teaching the swimmer's body what it should be doing.

Then after a swim at the meet the Coach will give feedback (head placement was off, breath count, etc) that the swimmer then focuses on at practice during the drills to improve.[/quote]

I’m the OP. I know what drill sets are and I know what the coaches discuss at meets. I swam club up through college.

I’m dealing with a HS aged swimmer who has some bad habits now. Her strokes kill me when I watch. When I was a swimmer, there was one guy known for correcting technique - he ran group session, private sessions, and then started his own club.

Is there anyone like this? I imagine it’s easier these days with videos readily available to show the swimmers their issues.[/quote]
