This year’s clinic will be broken into two sessions to maximize pool availability and swimmer ability. The first session, ‘Technique Training’, is aimed at younger swimmers (age 6-10) to work on the fundamental parts of competitive swimming. These swimmers will develop essential skills as well as learn the finer points of how each race should be swum. This session will have 2-4 coaches depending on the number of swimmers that night and will go for 45 minutes from 7:00-7:45. (If your child is a young level 1 or has difficulty with a 25yd swim, s/he should probably be enrolled in Level 5 of Swim lessons to receive more direct work on developing their skills. If unsure of where they belong - ask their regular coach)

The next session, ‘Strength and Conditioning’ is aimed for our older swimmers (age 11-18) to also work on these swimming essentials while still getting the cardiovascular benefits of practice. They will also start at 7:00, but for the first 45 minutes will be doing Dryland training with 1 or 2 of the coaches. They should bring gym clothes and sneakers in addition to their swim effects. If they are looking to try out for Varsity, they will be practicing the tryout each day with Coach Mike. At 7:45 when the first session lets out, they will then get an hour of pool-time to work on the weekly stroke. This session will have 1-2 coaches and will run the full hour and 45 minutes.
                         
The level your child swam during the season has no effect on the clinic, as we are separating the swimmers by age and then arranging them by stroke-ability. Depending on the focus of the week, they may swim in different lanes than they were previously swimming in. This is intended to get the maximum effect from the time in the water and does not have bearing on where they will swim next year.
