Freestyle and backstroke are referred to as “long-axis” strokes because they rely on the rotation of the hips and shoulders around the spine to generate power. This camp builds on the natural connection between the two strokes–including bodyline, flutter kick, and a high elbow catch–to enhance technical development in both. Your swimmer will also explore what makes these strokes different, unlocking some key understanding to help them swim both strokes faster and more efficiently.
