From in November …
It was the swim of three lifetimes. Last week, Melbourne girl Chloe McCardel waded into the chill waters of Southern England, determined to become just the fourth person to make a triple crossing of the English Channel. How she found the courage to dive into that rough and unpredictable ocean just amazes us. But every year, hundreds try it, all determined to conquer swimming’s Mt Everest. Maybe if they saw what happened to Chloe, they’d think twice before taking the plunge.
This is perhaps the most in-depth/comprehensive discussion on stroke mechanics and technique available anywhere! The amount of insight and knowledge of the technical application of all 4 strokes is truly remarkable and will inspire all coaches to carefully consider how they’re developing their philosophies and how they approach working with their athletes. You will learn what it means to be a “traveler” in the water and why it is critical for athletes to “utilize the value of what they are learning.”Â
Coaches will learn to teach their athletes to articulate their bodies to create power, fluidity, and increase the efficiency of their shape while swimming. Listen to discover why creating “path-seeking tools” assist your swimmers in finding their best organic positions in the water. Jonty jumped right into the discussion! You won’t hear an introduction as Coach was excited to get going!
Jonty Skinner is a former World-Record holder, NCAA Champion, and a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. In this special edition of Coaches Corner, Jonty and Mike discuss correct technique, the evolving philosophies behind teaching stroke mechanics, and relating information to your athletes.
This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
A $70,000 grant is helping Safe Swim NC teach survival swim lessons to kids in the Triad.Â
Leslie Durm’s youngest son was one of dozens of kids to graduate the six-week program that started in October.Â
Advocates of the Infant Swimming Resource’s Self Rescue program believe ten minutes a day can save a child’s life.Â
Durm and her husband learned that lesson the hard way when one of their daughters slipped underwater in the pool. They were only feet away.Â
“It doesn’t take somebody not paying attention. Don’t judge people,. The water is very dangerous and unforgiving…get them trained,†Leslie said.Â
So to prevent her kids from drowning, she got them back in the water.
