NEM workout groups have benefited from the NEM Video Clinics, but unattached members of NEM have not had such an opportunity. This has changed with the NEM Video Clinic scheduled for January 18, 2009 in Boston, Massachusetts. Sign up today for the New England Masters Video Clinic. We will videotape your swimming and critique your strokes. After the clinic you will receive a DVD of your work. Over a period of time following the clinic you will also receive a critique of focus points for change. The clinic will be conducted by three stroke experts: Mike Ross, Bob Boder, and Bill Ewan. Mike, of course, holds national and world records in masters swimming. All have many years of coaching and swimming experience.

See the clinics page for more information.

An open letter to the NEM community…

Hello Nate,
Here’s a summary of the underwater service I provide for Masters Clubs up and down the East Coast. Please forward on to any and all you think might like to speak with me about setting up a session:

One lane dedicated, practice or weekend session though weekday is best for me. 4-5 min per swimmer / 15+ per hour / Turns are Included / IM is best I shoot using a small, rolling cart of PVC with the camera/electronics on-board that I built. The lens is “steerable” so I shoot the swimmer from the front, side and rear to get you/them ALL perspectives. I am always rolling close to the swimmer so the view is GREAT! Side of the pool between the ladders must be free of obstacles, guard chairs, etc. Club gets mini-hard-drive at session’s end. Plug it into your laptop and teach.
New! Video Files are posted to Google video, permanently $35 per swimmer

–
With gratitude,
