Olympic Bootcamp Lia Neal’s drills podcast-full version

We received a lot of great feedback with regard to the Olympic Bootcamp Lia Neal led and have decided to launch podcast which contains all of the drills she used during the clinic. The podcast is not only a great memento of the event, but the swimmers have a record of what they worked on and can continue to use these drills to strengthen their techniques on their own. The cost is $19.99 and may be purchased here: https://www.swimstrongfoundation.org/product/olympic-bootcamp-lia-neals-drills-podcast/ Olympic Bootcamp [...]
