Open Water Skills Clinic Description
In the Northeast, it can be tough to make the transition from swimming in a pool through the winter to our early season open water or multisport events.  
Join us for this clinic focusing on open water skills in the pool, so you can enter the water confidently this season. Remove the lane lines and the pool can be a great place to practice the skills needed to have your most comfortable and efficient swim in the open water. This is a great way to brush up your skills, get more comfortable swimming near others, and practice skills you're nervous about in a more controlled environment.

In this clinic, we will work on on race skills including "seeding" strategy, managing race anxiety/panic in the water, standing, treading water and deep water dock race starts, surging, passing, cornering, sighting, drafting and swimming in crowded/choppy waters.

Swimmers must be comfortable being in the deep end of the pool.

102 Bridge Rd #1f, Salisbury, MA 01952 (The Mom Comm Studio)

Dryland strength is an often neglected, but vital, part of any swimming routine. A good dryland routine will strengthen and improve muscular coordination, eliminate imbalances, help with injury prevention, and improve efficiency and proper technique in the water. Join Coach Anne to learn what movements and exercises to incorporate into your routine to improve balance, efficiency, coordination and performance in the water. There is no water/swimming component to this clinic - all experience levels are welcome.
