Clinic Descriptions

Stroke Development

This is a program designed to introduce beginning swimmers to the four competitive swimming strokes used in a swim team program. Swimmers will spend two sessions on each of the four strokes, working on proper stroke mechanics and techniques.

Prerequisites

  • Participants must be the appropriate age by the first day of class. (7 years or older)
  • Participants must have completed Level 3 or be able to comfortably swim two lengths of the pool (50 yards) - one on their front with their face in the water, blowing bubbles; the other on their back with assistance.

Stroke Refinement

This is a program designed to refine strokes previously developed within a competitive swim team. Swimmers will work on starts and turns, breathing technique, body position, body alignment, and overall conditioning. This class will fine-tune strokes for the next swim season.

Prerequisites

  • Participants must be the appropriate age by the first day of class. (10 years or older)
  • Participants must have been part of a competitive swim team for at least one season (summer or winter).
  • Participants must be able to comfortably swim four lengths of the pool (100 yards) – freestyle, continuous, non-stop.
