Hey everyone,
Megan and I put on a few clinics each summer and now that she is back from Beijing, we're setting a couple up. Generally we've gone and had the pleasure of visiting age group clubs, but have been thinking "Hey, we know some pretty awesome masters swimmers, too." We don't have too many masters teams around here though, so we're not really sure of the landscape of the teams and such. Do Masters swimmers enjoy clinics? Just wanted to check in and ask the professionals :weightlifter:
Best wishes!
Nathan
Is there a general consensus as to whether a all-stroke clinic is preferred or, say, a breaststroke-only focus?
I think I'm with Fortress on that one, but wouldn't it depend on amount of time? (I've never been to a swim clinic, so please excuse my uninformed questions.)
A short clinic should be stroke-specific.
If 50 people sign up for a 2-hour stroke specific-clinic, and you plan to look at technique individually, how does it work? Do you take a fresh batch of 10 or 20 every 2 hours?
Do those who have had their technique reviewed in the early part of the period swim around, then get bored and leave?
