Accreditation Check:

Optimal swimming form requires a precise synchronization of both the upper and lower body to propel the body through a medium ten times more dense than air. So how can you tell if something isn't right? And how can you tell if problems are discrete, or linked to other issues, and most importantly, how can you fix it? In this course we'll present the Visual Stroke Tool to enable you to derive essential information from a video swim assessment. We'll build a systematic way to assess imbalances in swimming stroke, and most importantly prescribe corrective drills to ensure that concepts form within the clinic walls are integrated into each and every session in the water. Jay Dicharry will blend his knowledge as a competitive swimmer, coach, and clinician to help you succeed with this challenging population.

1. Intro to Visual Stroke Tool

Don’t make swimming more complex that it has to be. In chapter one, we’ll introduce the Visual Stroke Tool to enable you to identify imbalances in causative biomechanics related to: body position, body rotation, head position, leg drive, and arm pull. You’ll learn powerful drills to help your swimmers feel specific improvements in form.

2. Case Scenarios - 2 Swimmers

Let’s get hands on and dive in! We will use the Visual Swim Tool to identify issues and imbalances in our swimmers.

3. Fixing Broken Fish

By now, you understand the pathomechaincs of the swim stroke. You can identify stroke flaws and MSK deficits. Let’s put this all together. We will build a framework to optimize clinical goals and technique goals using mobility and stability work, and will discuss transferring these goals directly into hands-on exercises and drills. You certainly don’t have to be a swim coach to treat your swimmers, but you do have to understand their sport and speak their language.
