Coolwaves Spring Swim Clinic

Thanks Alex....I will look into this.

Thanks for the info about the upcoming swim clinic...   Sounds like a good way to get some good help and advice for improving your swimming technique.

My pleasure. These people truly coach, the don't just hand out workouts. I will be attending it myself too. It is never too much supervised stroke work.

Yep, I believe the swim team benefits from fees. On the coaching side, it is a little different from what you had back then. This time, it is team's Head Coach Laurie Reaburn and her coaching staff.

What a great group of people!  Coach Laurie was fantastic.  I thought I may be a bit advanced for the beginner session, but like someone else said, you can't beat supervised stroke instruction, the amazing thing was, I was the only person who showed up for the clinic!  I got an hour and a half with 2 swim instructors all by myself!  For $30?  Can't beat that deal anywhere.  The coach and her staff are awesome, and I look forward to more sessions with her.  Thanks atasic.

Glad you enjoyed it. I will try to bring a few friends on the 24th. Looking forward to it.

Alex - Thanks for the note on the clinic.  I really enjoyed the session and the underwater filming of the stroke.  Please let me know when they hold the next clinic....Can't hurt to get this type of instruction on a regular basis.

Loved it to death. If picture is worth a thousand words, than video is priceless. There is no better way of finding out what you really are doing in the water. 
The drills were awesome and had natural progression in focus. Laurie just impressed me even more. No wonder why my son goes to her practice with such an enthusiasm. Just as Eric mentioned, I think they are both from the same school of thought. I read a lot on swimming and her stroke methodology is up to date and in line with what is being coached at many of the best swim teams and groups around the country. After two months of only twice a week on her team, my son broke two DII times, dropped 15sec in every 50 race and over 35sec in every 100 race he entered. Prior to that he spent 3 years on Blazers team splashing around with zero stroke or any kind of guided work.
I will be bugging her about more of these. I think the more interested we get, the more they are going to see a benefit in their team fund raising effort.
It was a fun group and I had a blast. Glad you liked it.  

It was fun and educational, I agree. I hope they do more of these.
