Stroke Technique Clinics

Stroke technique clinics will be offered in the evenings. Please check the swim team board or talk to the coaches to find out when these are offered. These are not workout practices. The purpose is to work on specific stroke, turn, start and finish techniques. All swimmers are urged to attend to improve their swimming technique, but these clinics do not replace the morning workouts.

The format of stroke clinics provide an opportunity for more individualized help with technique. During this time the coaches will be able to concentrate specifically on the individual technique needs of the swimmers.
