Club Talon Starts & Turns Clinic
GKAISA Family,
As the season is well underway and we are nearing the rightfully named Tom Schumann Memorial City Championship, we would like to invite you to attend our STARTS + TURNS Clinic held at Carson-Newman University. Details are below:
- WHO - Led by Benjamin Young (current Head Coach at Carson-Newman) Offered to any and all swimmers that are currently registered members of the GKAISA family.
- WHAT - Two days of instructional guidance geared towards starts and turns
- WHEN - There are 3 options... attend the "turns" session, attend the "starts" session, or attend BOTH!
- OPTION 1 ($30) --> TURNS CLINIC - JUNE 27 @ 6-8 PM
- OPTION 2 ($30) --> STARTS CLINIC - JUNE 28 @ 9-11 AM
- OPTION 3 ($50) --> ATTEND BOTH SESSIONS *all prices are per athlete
- WHERE - Maddox Student Activities Center
2130 S Branner Ave
Jefferson City, TN 37760
- WHY - While training is ever-so-important, it can often leave coaches feeling like they didn't spend "enough" time on the details that go beyond training. So, let us take some additional time to slow down, get it right, and learn to execute more efficient and effective details during our races.. AKA our starts and turns. Moreso, as a past summer league swimmer and coach myself, I know that ALL of our blocks do not look the same from pool to pool, and when it comes time to use the blocks at CITY, swimmers often are left feeling uneasy. Let's take the time to properly teach HOW to use the blocks so that when your swimmer arrives at City, they are left feeling confident in how they started the race!
- HOW - Head over to our website (clubtalon.swimtopia.com) to register! Be sure to click the Register Now button and then choose the 2025 STARTS + TURNS CLINIC Registration.
Thanks and look forward to seeing you there!
