7:30 PM — Catered Dinner + Tech Preview
Enjoy a catered dinner with your coaches and fellow athletes. After dinner, Dr. Ken Ono and the Velocity team will walk you through the testing protocols and technologies you'll experience over the weekend—from EO sensors to 3D motion tracking. You'll get a preview of how your data will be collected, analyzed, and turned into a customized performance report.

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM — Testing + Data Collection
You'll rotate through a series of performance tests tailored to your stroke and goals.
- EO Force Sensors to analyze propulsion
- Accelerometers capturing 3D motion at 512Hz to find even the smallest opportunities in your technique
- High-speed Start + Turn Video to find time drops at the most important parts of the race
Our team will be capturing every detail to build your personalized swim profile.
12:00 PM – 2:30 PM — Lunch and Rest Period
Enjoy a catered lunch followed by dedicated downtime to refuel, nap, and reset for the afternoon session. This intentional break allows your body and mind to process the morning's work and prepare for the technical training ahead.
Saturday Afternoon: Coaching + Application
2:30 PM – 5:30 PM — Swim + Dryland Work
Join Todd in a small group (4-6 athletes) for a deep dive into skill development and technique. Expect a session focused on drills, efficiency, and flow, that ends with Todd's trademark speed work! You'll get personalized feedback and technique advice during the session.
After the pool, you'll move into a dryland block led by Todd that focuses on the foundations of swim-specific athleticism used by NCAA Champions. It's a carefully designed session that covers:
- Mobility, strength, and activation work tailored to swimming
- Strength training exercises that require minimal equipment and can be replicated at home or on the road
- Core stability, shoulder health, and body awareness—critical elements for maximizing performance in the water
To finish the session, you'll get hands-on time with exclusive UVA training tools and tech—some of which have never been made available to the public.
6:30 PM — Catered Dinner with Dietitian Talk
Hear from a UVA sports nutritionist as they give you the tips and tricks to fuel your body for ultimate performance. Our speaker will guide you through training days, race days, and all the in between of elite nutrition. In the meantime, our analysts begin compiling your personalized report.
