Using video demonstration, dryland body awareness, simple terms and plenty of water drills, we will teach you the basic stroke mechanics for Breaststroke and Butterfly. We begin by focusing on correct body position and balance, then progress to the actual stroke. A good attitude and the ability to laugh at yourself is a must for the butterfly portion of the clinic.

1 hour classroom instruction followed by 2 hours in the pool.
Clinic is limited to 30 swimmers.
