The ETA Open Water Swim Clinic is a great way to dramatically improve your swimming confidence, skills, overall ability, and open water swimming technique. The swim clinic will be 3 consecutive weekends and will be held by ETA Head Coach Jason Kilderry, Coach Greg Wilkinson, and Coach Bill Sepich. It will take place the first three weekends of June.

The swim clinic is for those individuals who can swim independently, but are looking to become more efficient with their stroke and improve race performances. At ETA Coach we feel that drill work is crucial for swim stroke improvement, especially in open water swimming. That is why the clinic includes both a pool and open water session each weekend. Each Saturday session will be held at Riverwinds Community Center in West Deptford, NJ. Participants will learn how to swim the freestyle with proper kick, arm movement, breathing pattern, and timing of the stroke. The emphasis will be on learning the most effective drills to improve freestyle for open water and triathlon swim performance. Each Sunday session will be held at Wenonah Lake for open water swim instruction. Participants will learn how to effectively swim in groups, pacing, sighting, strategy, and wetsuit use.

Since there will be an emphasis on drill work, fins are required for all participants. Perfecting one's stroke mechanics through drills is the key to improving freestyle. Swimming requires improved technique for improved performance. Therefore, swimming more and more yardage incorrectly does not improve freestyle performance.

Both Saturday and Sunday sessions will last 60 minutes, which will include both drill instruction and swim training. Since the clinic is three weekends in a row, participants are highly encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible.
