In our TI & ChiRunningTune-Up sessions, we use a video camera to document your current stroke/form and make corrections. These hour-long sessions designed to promote awareness of your stroke/form will: · Review body position and current stroke/form · Identify technique flaws · Suggest corrections and modifications to technique While additional swimming/running sessions are required to build fitness and effect stroke/form technique improvement, a video analysis is a great way to assess and measure progress. Tune up sessions are conducted in a small class format with a limited number of participants.
