Swim Clinics
Swim Clinics
Swim clinics include up to 5 participants who all want to work on a specific aspect of swimming. Participants receive specialized instruction on swim strokes in a small group setting for an incredibly subsidized rate. See below for specific swim clinic descriptions and dates.
Registration for Swim Clinics can be done at the Member Services desk at the Academic and Student Rec Center and include:
Front Crawl / Back Crawl
The focus of this clinic is to work on proper timing, technique and stroke refinement of the crawl strokes in order to achieve more ease, efficiency, power and endurance. Participants should be able to swim at least one lap (down and back) of either front crawl or back crawl. A desire to master both strokes is not necessary but both strokes will be covered. Participants may choose to work on one stroke only during the duration of the clinic. Participants are taught by a certified instructor.
