Swim Clinics
Based on the success of our stroke clinic station style practices we held every Wednesday this summer, we are offering four
Stroke Clinics, one per month that will run just like they did this summer. This is a chance for your swimmer to work in small groups with a coach and really focus on swimming stroke techniques including starts, turns & finishes.
We encourage all Level 2 & Level 3 swimmers to attend these clinics.
