Personal Swimming Technique & Training Camps (Three or Five Days)
- Are you in a rut with your training or improvement?
- Have you been training very hard but not seeing very good results due to a lack of technique emphasis?
- Are you a comptitive Masters or Age Group swimmer with poor starts, turns, pacing, or race strategy skills?
- Are you training for a key event that you would really like to perform at your top level in?
- Are you a triathlete who is highly inefficient or fearful in dealing with open water?
- Are you confused by all the technique and training information out there, and don't know what is REALLY important for you to follow?
- Are you somewhat "burned-out" from doing things the same way for a long time, and need to add some new ideas to your training to re-kindle your motivation?
If you answered, "Yes," to one or more these questions then consider signing up for a three or five-day Personal Swim Camp with the Nova Coaching Staff. Camps are coached by Michael Collins, 1990 United States Masters Swimming Coach of the Year.
A Nova Personal Swim Camp includes the following:
- Initial interview to discuss training and racing history, upcoming events and goals, and biggest areas of interest for improvement.
- Initial Video Technique Evaluation (above and below the surface taping from various angles and speeds including starts and turns for competitive swimmers)
- Instructional videos to view to shorten your learning time.
- 1-2 daily instructional sessions for technique and training development
- 1-2 daily training Sessions with the Nova Masters
- End of camp video analysis to see improvment
- Wrap-up interview to discuss suggested follow-up actions to meet your performance goals.
- One year membership to Nova Satellite Program including monthly training programs ($100 value)
- Free Airport Pick-up and drop-off if coming from out of town (to John Wayne, Orange County, CA SNA).
(Other close airports include Long Beach, about 35 miles, and Los Angeles (LAX) about 50 miles, but you will need to secure your own transportation from these airports)
