Stroke Clinic

Interested in improving your swimming technique? Are you wondering what swim team is like, but you don’t want to make a five month commitment? Try the YMCA’s three week stroke clinic. Aqua Pack Swim Team coaches will work on improving four competitive stroke techniques: freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, and butterfly. The clinic will be organized very similar to our swim team and is a great way to see if you would enjoy the swim team.
