I find these types of events really have helped me improve. Every time I participate in training like this I always get something out of it and is time well spent.

The objective of the clinic was to learn how to learn how to correctly do some basic swimming drills to incorporate into our training program as well as some time to discuss how to create a tailored training program. This is the second clinic I have attended with swimming coach Tina Foeri.

One of the main fundamental drills covered in the swimming clinic were:

Swimming Balance

This is a difficult drill is not as easy as it may seem.

I can’t believe the progress I have made in the last few months. It is nice to see some of my hard work pay off.
