Welcome to the 20th Annual “SPRING” Stroke Clinics
REGISTRATION COMING SOON IN MARCH 2026
GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome to the BEST BARGAIN IN TOWN! We offer an instructor for each swimmer for the best One-On-One instruction experience for your swimmer/s. This will be our 20th year teaching these Stroke Clinics this way and the reviews are always off the charts! These Clinics are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC for anyone that wants/needs to work on their swimming skills.
We will work on all four strokes Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and depending on age and ability, Butterfly, turns, dives and have a RACE DAY (because it's the best way to see how much each swimmer has improved in just these few short weeks!).
Stroke Clinics are a great way to get those cobwebs off after this cold winter. For aspiring Summer Swim Team members, it's a great way to start getting some of the strokes tuned up a bit and rebuild some of that confidence before the season starts. OR for the kiddos and parents that just want their kids more on the safe side with this all-important lifelong skill and building more competence and confidence for all the fun water activities in the summer. This is not a learn to swim program.
DISCLAIMER: Swimmers will be expected to already be familiar with the water and be somewhat “water safe”. This is usually specific to our 4-6 year olds; Water safe refers to any age swimmer having the ability to "swim" unassisted for "some distance" in deep water. They may rest and hold on to the wall or lane line for a bit and as much as they need to swim the short distance. Yes, swimming ‘doggy paddle’ for the little ones counts. This is an excellent skill builder opportunity before summer begins - whether you are joining a summer swim team or not!
