STR SPEEDWEEK SWIM CAMPS USING SCIENCE TO IMPROVE TECHNIQUE 850-385-9803 info@swimmingtechnology.com www.swimmingtechnology.com

• • • •

Control the base of support to minimize resistance and maximize propulsion Benefit from elbow flexion at the beginning of the pull in all four strokes Increase the arm index of coordination in freestyle Minimize shoulder stress on the freestyle and butterfly arm entry Reduce intracycle fluctuations in body velocity in breaststroke and butterfly Gain extra propulsion on the freestyle push phase in freestyle, butterfly and backstroke Practice deliberately to make technique changes quickly

Are you: • Looking for a significant time drop?

• Serious about improving your technique?

• Hoping to reduce or eliminate shoulder pain?

• Ready to compete at the next level?

• Interested in extending your swimming career to college?

•

If you are, then an STR SpeedWeek is your best swim camp option! We are the only camp with scientific studies that confirm the effect of our technique improvement strategies.

In the morning classroom instructional session, swimmers learn specific cues to see and feel so they can swim like MONA, a biomechanical model of optimal technique. The following pool session includes deliberate practice strategies to help the swimmers optimize technique—short swims at a slow stroke rate with lots of individual feedback.

In the afternoon, swimmers are tested in the pool and analyzed in the classroom with Aquanex—our patented system that captures synchronized underwater video and hand force data. This sciencebased analysis is unlike anything else in the world of swimming, giving swimmers the information they need to fine-tune their technique and make drastic time drops.

The STR bottom line: We guarantee we can show every swimmer how to swim faster. SpeedWeek helps you make technique changes based on scientific data rather than opinion. Our campers make incomparable progress and learn practice strategies that help them continue to improve on return to normal training.

Each SpeedWeek is limited to 12 swimmers to ensure maximum individual attention by Dr. Rod Havriluk, world-renowned biomechanist and technique expert. Dr. Havriluk is internationally recognized for his unique approach to accelerating skill-learning and preventing shoulder injury. He is widely published and a frequent conference presenter (ASCA, ASCTA, BMS, FINA, IOC, ISCA, USAS, USMS, USSSA).

In 2015, he was selected by Swimming World Magazine as one of the top 10 individuals making an impact on swimming.

Check our STR website for camp dates, locations and more info: swimmingtechnology.com.

You will learn to: • Optimize the non-breathing head position
