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.

with David Marsh, 8 X NCAA Coach of the Year, 12 X NCAA Championships at Auburn; 2 X Olympic Coach, Head Coach, Mecklenburg Aquatic Club of North Carolina and Auburn Assistant Coach Dave Durden.

In Part 1 of this exceptional six part video, Coach Marsh looks at the full butterfly stroke and follows with a brief on-deck teaching discussion of the components and timing of the stroke. In Part 2, Marsh calls upon Auburn Assistant Dave Durden who shares his creativity and butterfly expertise presenting seven sequential sculling drills that uniquely transition into a progression of five butterfly stroke drills utilizing a front snorkel. Next (Part 3), Coach Marsh proceeds with six additional fly drills progressively designed to teach a swimmer maximum efficiency with a focus on keeping balance forward. (Part 4) Durden shares three different drills that are regularly incorporated into the Auburn butterfly system. In Part 5, Marsh pulls the stroke components together and narrates full stroke demonstration through a descending set of 4 x 25's from a 200 pace down to an all-out sprint. Utilizing a telestrator (Part 6), Marsh takes you frame by frame through a complete stroke cycle with two different swimmers giving you a unique opportunity to look at the stroke dynamics through the artful eyes of David Marsh! This exceptional butterfly video is greatly enhanced with expert demonstration by former Auburn All-American butterflier Demerae Christianson, along with extraordinary underwater footage and slow motion segments throughout!

with Richard Quick, former Auburn University Head Men's and Women's Swim Coach; former Stanford University Head Women's Swimming Coach, 12 NCAA Team Championships, 5X NCAA "Coach of the Year".

Coach Richard Quick believes that the first essential for any successful backstroker is to establish a sound understanding and feel for the proper body position in the water. Beginning his presentation with a review of posture, line and balance essentials, Quick "builds" the backstroke from the inside out sharing innovative drills and technique tips for proper hand placement, underwater pull and recovery. Throughout these drills, Quick repeatedly stresses the importance of swimming the backstroke on the side and driving the stroke from the hips. Emphasizing a "tight, fast, electric kick", Quick and his young swimmers demonstrate each drill and how easily you can incorporate them into your program. Quick also shares common stroke faults and provides invaluable tips to assure proper stroke mechanics.
