USMS Stroke Development Clinics

Have any forumites been to one of these? There is one in Chicago in August which is relatively close for me (and my wife's family lives in that area). I was just wondering what the level of instruction is - I'm relatively high-level (only 7 years removed from college swimming, top-10 at Nats in a few events this past May), so if it's geared toward more beginning competitive level that would seem to be not the best use of my time and taking a sign up spot from someone that may get more out of it. But if it can also be higher level then I definitely have some stroke tweaks and hitches I can't quite figure out that I could use some help on!

  • The USMS High Performance Camp is probably more up your alley. Yes, I was looking at that too. Would be fun. Definitely don't have the vacation days saved up for that this year though unfortunately. I just don't get a lot of real time stroke watching - coach at one pool is more geared toward coaching early teen beginners and the coaches at the other pool are more facilitators. Really I need to get back out my FauxPro some more, but it takes time to get it and find the right angles, and it still isn't real time.
