Stroke Clinic: For new swimmers who may be considering swim team or young swim team members who are still learning all four strokes, a "Stroke Clinic" has been developed. This four-week program will teach proper competitive stroke technique in each of the four competitive strokes. Keep in mind there are variations of each stroke that swimmers can learn after they are more seasoned in performing each stroke legally, according to the USA Swimming rules. This Stroke Clinic Handbook is attached below. (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.)

Director's Note: "We are excited to be able to utilize new touch pads. The Swim Team Parent’s Group worked very hard to raise over $20,000 to put in a state of the art Touch Pad system. Congratulations on your hard work and success!"
