VIDEO FILMING & ANALYSIS: April 18, 2026
Since so much of the stroke happens below water – it is incredibly important to see what’s going on below the surface! Small adjustments to your stroke can lead to big time drops! This is your opportunity to get beautiful footage of your stroke and get analysis from an expert… and you can review with your coach as well!
- VIDEO FILMING & ANALYSIS: Since so much of the stroke happens below water – it is incredibly important to see what’s going on below the surface! Small adjustments to your stroke can lead to big time drops! This is your opportunity to get beautiful footage of your stroke and get analysis from an expert… and you can review with your coach as well!
- Check-in: 3:45 PM, Camp: 4 - 6:00 PM
- ANALYSIS: Our Fitter and Faster expert will use a video analysis application to record their comments on your technique. They will use slow motion, pause the video at specific points, and draw on the swimmer's video all while explaining where opportunities for improvement are. Each stroke will have approximately 3 to 5 minutes of expert commentary that you can review with your coaches at home!
- DRILL RECOMMENDATIONS: You will receive recommendations for drills to correct the technique of each swimmer.
- SIGN UP: Select to have one stroke filmed. Or, SAVE by choosing to have all four strokes filmed. The "multi-stroke options" are for individual swimmers and cannot be split.
- ARRIVING AT THE POOL (Retain your order number): You will receive an e-mail approximately one week before the filming session with the specific time for your swimmer to check in, warm up, and be filmed. Please retain your order number - this is how swimmers will be identified on that schedule. When you arrive at the pool, you will be greeted by Fitter & Faster staff who will provide you instructions on the filming process.
- WARM UP: Participants will have an opportunity to warm up before filming.
- FILMING: Our camera operator will have you swim two 25s at a strong pace of each stroke purchased (1 stroke or all 4 strokes). The filming of each stroke will take about three minutes. The video will capture a side angle and a front angle below the water to get an accurate view of your technique.
- SESSION LENGTH: Depending on the number of strokes you are getting recorded, your session time will run between 5 and 15 minutes.
- TIMELINE: All videos will be analyzed and returned within 14 days of the camp. The analyzed videos along with the original video will be sent via email for you to keep!
BREASTSTROKE TECHNIQUE: August 15, 2026
We want your swimmer to develop a smooth and well-timed breaststroke. Through fun drills and clear instruction, swimmers will learn how to use their hips, kick, and glide together for a strong and flowing stroke. They’ll discover how to build rhythm, power, and confidence every time they swim breaststroke.
- BREASTSTROKE TECHNIQUE (Competitive Enrichment): Of all the strokes, competitive breaststroke differs the most from the foundational form taught to young swimmers. This makes it one of the most challenging techniques to master. Our elite clinicians are here to help your swimmer develop race-ready breaststroke skills!
- Check-in: 9 AM, Camp: 9:15 - 11:15 AM
- GLIDING: Competitive breaststrokers glide with their hands extended in front, reaching toward the far wall. They hold this extended position until and for several moments after the kick is completed. Maintaining a long, almost streamlined bodyline during the glide is key to maximizing efficiency and speed.
- HIGH HIPS: A fast breaststroke requires swimmers to keep their hips high in the water at all times. This involves minimizing the time their head stays out of the water. Swimmers will learn to initiate their breath early in the pull and avoid pausing with their hands near their chest—a critical step for maintaining momentum.
- KICK: The kick is the powerhouse of breaststroke. Swimmers will work on lifting their heels (instead of pulling their knees forward) and snapping their feet quickly around and back to generate strong propulsion. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining the kick within the same horizontal plane and rotating the ankles throughout the motion to develop a powerful and legal kick. Our clinicians will guide participants in refining and strengthening their kick to achieve maximum forward momentum.
- PULL: The key to breaststroke is generating propulsion with the pull while minimizing resistance—and quickly returning to a straight bodyline for a high-speed glide. Many young swimmers have too big of an armstroke which impacts their timing and can even lead to disqualification. Swimmers in this clinic will learn to establish a proper "catch," keeping their hands and elbows high in the water and in front of their shoulders throughout the pull. These techniques will help them maintain forward momentum and achieve their fastest breaststroke.
FLIP TURNS, OPEN TURNS & FINISHES: September 19, 2026
Fast turns and strong finishes help swimmers race their best! In this session, swimmers will learn how to push off the wall with power and speed to get a great start on every lap. We’ll practice fun drills that make each turn quick, smooth, and strong—just like the best swimmers do!
- FLIP TURNS, OPEN TURNS & FINISHES (Competitive Enrichment): For developing competitive swimmers, mastering turns and finishes is a critical step toward transitioning from simply swimming to racing. While proper turn technique is vital, the process begins well before reaching the wall and the impact of a great push off will carry speed through the next length. Similarly, a well-executed finish can make the difference in close races, with the preparation for a great finish beginning far before the final touch.
- Check-in: 9 AM, Camp: 9:15 - 11:15 AM
- FLIP TURNS: Racing flip turns require precise technique. Swimmers must drop their head quickly without pausing, keep their hands narrow during the rotation, and finish with foot placement and body position that allow for a powerful push-off. Our clinicians will teach swimmers how to turn for maximum speed and efficiency.
- OPEN TURNS: Open turns often require swimmers to re-learn technique. Instead of turning to the side, swimmers will practice bringing their knees and feet straight to the wall, almost like a backflip. They’ll also learn to stay low in the water and use smooth arm movements that lead to optimal foot placement and streamlined push-offs.
- MOMENTUM OFF THE WALL: The push-off is the fastest part of each length, and carrying that speed into swimming strokes is essential. This clinic will teach proper push-off positioning and tight streamlines to maintain speed.
- MAINTAINING SPEED: One key to both great turns and finishes is maintaining or even increasing speed in the final five yards. Swimmers will develop the habit of “swimming through the wall,” ensuring they carry speed from the flags to the wall and come out ahead in races.
- FINISHES: Strong finishes involve eliminating breaths inside the flags, maintaining stroke length and speed, and touching the wall with force just below the surface. Our clinicians will help swimmers build these habits to consistently deliver competitive finishes.
