Check back for 2025 March Clinic Details - registration will open in January
2024 Fair Oaks Dolphins March Swim Clinic
Where: Bella Vista High School, 8301 Madison Avenue, Fair Oaks, CA. 95628
The March Swim Clinic is a fun, four-week stroke clinic for swimmers ages 6 to 18. We will spend one week on each of the four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke, in preparation for the upcoming Swim Team season. This program will emphasize proper stroke development using drills, games, and other teaching techniques. This is NOT a beginner swim lesson. Your child must be completely comfortable with his/her face in the water, kick independently with and without a kickboard making good forward progress in the water, and have appropriate behavior and listening skills for a group environment.
The March clinic will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays - March 4th through March 28th
Session times are 5:00 to 5:45 pm for beginners, 5:45 to 6:45 for the intermediate group, and 6:45 to 8:00 pm for the advanced group. Groups will be assigned by the coach.
Swimmers will be placed in groups according to ability more so than by age. The Beginner group is for those with limited swim team experience who are still learning their stroke fundamentals. The intermediate group is for younger, experienced swim teamers who have efficient flutter kicking, good side-breathing, and have been introduced to all four strokes. They are working to master stroke fundamentals (streamlining, kicking, head position, and breathing/breath control). The Advanced group swimmers have mastered their fundamentals, have good stroke mechanics, and are learning advanced drills/turns.
