STroke School

The Novice Stroke School is designed for swimmers with a basic foundation of freestyle with a strong supportive kick and side breathing, as well as backstroke with coordinated arm movements and supporting kick. Coaches emphasize proper stroke mechanics, body position, and kick development to help swimmers gain confidence and progress in their stroke development and endurance. Swim meets are optional. Swimmers will continue to refine free and back, learn flip turns and racing starts.  In addition swimmers are introduced to breastroke and butterfly. Swimmers range in age from 5-15, all swimmers must complete an evaluation before enrolling to ensure proper group placement.
