Fishlike Freestyle Camp

The Fishlike Freestyle camp will give you the foundation for an efficient, solid, effortless, and speedy freestyle swimming stroke. This camp is appropriate for women new to swimming. The class will help improve your balance and overall movement in the water. The camp is also appropriate for competent swimmers looking to get faster, prevent injury, and gain better body awareness in the water. All instruction will take place in heated pools.

Leslie Thomas is a certified Total Immersion coach. Total Immersion technique teaches efficient, fishlike movement. Whereas most swim training emphasizes uncoordinated motions of the arms and legs, Total Immersion focuses on eliminating drag through balance and skillful, whole-body movement. The approach is one of mindfulness and encourages body awareness. Total Immersion is taught through a series of 12 drills, which isolate individual body positions and movements (like yoga) and build on one another. We will experience the drill progression during our seven days together, and you will leave with a more efficient, effortless, and enjoyable swimming stroke.
