WHY OR SWIM CLINICS & CAMPS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE

SWIMMING PHILOSOPHY

Whether you’re a developing swimmer, open water swimmer or master swimmer our philosophy is that swimming faster takes a patient, disciplined and consistent “swimming with a purpose” framework.  We believe swimmers reap fitness benefits by becoming proficient in the 4 competitive strokes and ultimately we recommend progressing toward becoming Master swimmers.

EXPERIENCE

EventHorizon coaches have over 10,000 hours of on deck master swim coaching, small group swim training and one-on-one swimming instruction experience. We don’t lure swimmers to clinics with promises of silver bullet fixes and instant speed with casual advice and drills that are readily available online. While drills are an important component, our experience demonstrates the pathway to substantial development in speed and technique is much more complex.

TECHNOLOGY

During our clinics EventHorizon coaches employ technology to analyze and improve swimmer technique and performance by drawing upon the science of fluid dynamics. We utilize video swim stoke analysis software with high definition 30 frames per second smooth stabilized 1080p submersable cameras. With cloud technology we employ immediate cloud uploads that allow coaches and swimmers to have real-time feedback and unique persective on weakness, necessary corrections and analyze the swimmer’s marginal contributions to performance.

 

APPROACH & STRUCTURE

We employ a part lecture, part swim drill, and part workout approach.

One of the most common questions we’re asked is “how come my swim times don’t improve?” Some swimmers express frustration with hitting performance plateaus. EventHorizon swim coaching clinics are structured as deep dive multi-hour sessions focused on helping swimmers get to the bottom of these questions and laying the pathway to their goals.

We spend the majority of the time in the water, equipping the swimmer with tools and information to swim with a purpose so the swimmer can employ a self-efficacy approach to substantial swimming improvement.

Every swimmer leaves the clinic with video swim stroke analysis, a flash drive of workouts, an interactive spreadsheet dashboard for field tests and an eBooks. Swimmers leave understanding where they’re currently going wrong and what they need to do to fix it over forthcoming training cycles. If you employ our strategy over time, you can drop your Base by double digit seconds over 6-8 weeks.
