FRONT CRAWL masterclassES with olympic medallist Cassie patten at hampton pool

We are very excited to return to Hampton Pool for more of our hugely popular technique masterclasses with Olympic Medallist and Head Coach at Wavecrest, Cassie Patten.

 

 

27 January 2024 (5.30-8.30pm) “The Cassie Catch Clinic” £85pp

• 45-60 min Indoors land-based seminar session in the Studio with Cassie including time for Q&A
• 60 min Pool swim technique session, putting in practice what you learned in the studio
• Pool side BBQ dinner and refreshments

This session will de-mystify the front crawl ‘catch’, explaining what it is and what it does, and some common pitfalls and misconceptions. The catch usually refers to the part of the stroke in which your hand enters the water and begins the underwater phase. Often the catch is also referred to the start of your “pull”. The way you perform your catch influences the rest of your freestyle stroke, and can be a common cause of injury & a common cause of ineffective propulsion if not done correctly. This session should bust some myths for you and leave you with a clear understanding of how to improve your catch with drills, and build an effective, injury free stroke. We ask that you are able to swim at least 50m front crawl, comfortably, without stopping.

APRIL 2024 DATE TO BE CONFIRMED SOON! (5.30-8.30pm) “Front Crawl Explained” £85pp

• 45-60 min Indoors land-based seminar session in the Studio with Cassie including time for Q&A
• 60 min Pool swim technique session, putting in practice what you learned in the studio
• Pool side BBQ dinner and refreshments

This session caters for a range of abilities – any swimmer wishing to improve their front crawl technique to become more efficient at moving in the water, and ultimately faster – is welcome. To get the most from the session, we ask that you can swim at least 50m front crawl, comfortably, without stopping.

The class will cover all parts of the front crawl technique, building the foundations of the stroke including catch, rotation, breathing and then putting the stroke together to enable you to swim better, faster and for longer.  Better technique will also help you remain injury free and prepare you to build up distance if this is something you’re interested in.

In the video below Cassie demonstrate on her own stroke the topics that will be covered in this class: https://youtu.be/a9qoCxyBi_8
