The Championship Winning Swimming Series with Richard Quick is built upon the principles of Posture, Line and Balance or "Inside/Out" (body core/extremities) philosophies pioneered by one of the world's leading stroke technicians, Bill Boomer. In this swimming DVD, Coach Quick and Milt Nelms present and expand upon the foundations of Posture, Line and Balance that they have successfully implemented at Stanford that apply to all phases of competitive swimming. Nelms starts this information-packed video with a classroom presentation enhanced with remarkable illustrations that clearly lay out the theories that justify teaching, coaching and swimming using the PL& B concepts. Next, Quick takes you on-deck where he explains concepts and demonstrates techniques for achieving proper body positions that can be transferred into the pool. Quick follows with a pool session of drill progressions divided between long and short axis swimming concepts. He begins with the basics of teaching a swimmer to achieve and feel what nis/her own balance point is in the water and progresses to attaining posture, line and balance in proper swimming positions. This video provides the essential information that is the core of the entire Championship Winning Swimming Series.

In Underwater Swimming - The Fifth Competitive Stroke, Richard Quick discusses the fact that in many competitive races today, up to 60% of the race can be done underwater! Quick presents drills and skills that will equip you to take your swimmers' underwater capabilities to a new level. This video begins with Coach Nelms in the classroom, explaining with fantastic illustrations just how Posture, Line and Balance are factors in wall push-off set-ups for successful underwater swimming by learning to utilize what he calls the "Power Triangle." In the pool, Quick shares Posture, Line and Balance skill development of body undulation on the front, side, and back positions. He continues with incorporating these skills into drills that are designed to teach swimmers how to successfully use body undulation in their push-offs through full stroke breakouts for fly, back and free. Quick also shares the nuances of "fish swimming," and how to apply it to fly, back and free and then demonstrates the use of several pieces of training apparatus including: Front snorkel, monofin, short fins. Excellent instruction!

Coach Richard Quick begins with an on deck overview of the entire stroke and how the concepts of Posture, Line and Balance are applied to the technique of the stroke. Coach Nelms discusses and illustrates Posture, Line and Balance in the butterfly with a classroom overview of the stroke. Back in the pool, Quick's positive and enthusiastic coaching techniques are evident as he coaches demonstrators the drill progressions that he uses with his team to build the butterfly stroke. Demonstrations are enhanced with footage shot both above and underwater. Drill progressions include: Undulation Drills - to teach balance/proper undulation; Recovery Drills - on-deck drills to enhance a correct recovery; Unnecessary Vertical Movement Drills-designed to keep a swimmer "on the line," and eliminate unnecessary vertical movement; Vertical Drills - kicking and stroke timing. The drill work culminates with full stroke demonstrations with side views and head-on views of a balanced and efficient butterfly. Championship Winning Butterfly is the most comprehensive butterfly instruction ever available anywhere.

Coach Richard Quick feels that a key component to becoming a champion butterflier is getting the body into a "plank-like" position. This position ultimately allows the tightest possible line of motion to assure that the energy of the stroke is focused forward rather than up and down. Coach Quick teaches the proper arm movement of the stroke beginning with the recovery, followed by the hand entry and pull phase of the stroke. Through an excellent drill series, demonstrated by Quick's young demonstrators, he shows how to add undulation to the stroke and incorporates the dolphin kick for timing and rhythm. Today's champions swim a tight, forward-focused butterfly and Richard Quick's unique drills series will have you swimming like a champion in no time.

David David Marsh feels that "swimming flat" is the first step to Gettin' Better at butterfly. The traditional days of the butterfly's classic up and over and down and under undulation have given away to a forward focused stroke that creates a much smaller and tighter "line" of undulation. Coach Marsh's butterfly instruction features NCAA All-American and Olympian Jeremy Knowles as the demonstrator. Marsh's butterfly instruction moves in sequence from body positioning, to the kick, the pull, the recovery and timing of the full stroke. Marsh first focuses upon establishing a feel for the flat body positioning with drills that focus upon undulating from the chest and core. He then shares drills and tips for a quick and efficient kick before moving into pull and recovery drills. Marsh finishes with timing drills that will help teach you to establish a low-profile flowing butterfly with the goal of going faster more efficiently. Flat is where it's at when it comes to our present day butterfly and with David Marsh's expertise, you will be well on your way to a flat and efficient stroke that will assure you of Gettin' Better at Butterfly.
