U.S. Masters Swimming is sponsoring a FREE backstroke and freestyle stroke development and improvement clinic for swimmers of all abilities. NOTE: Swimmers should be able to swim 200 yards of freestyle comfortably as this is not a learn-to-swim clinic or lesson.

 

Here is what you can expect:

  • USMS-certified coaches on deck
  • Stroke technique for freestyle and backstroke will be evaluated and corrected
  • Learn drills that will enable you to continue to refine your stroke
  • Improve your technique for a more efficient stroke
  • Swimmers are not required to swim both strokes and may only choose to work on one of them
