Aquatics Classes

Stroke Technique
This class concentrates on improving your four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, rather than on conditioning. Attention is also focused on dives, turns and other swimming fundamentals such as side stroke, treading water, etc. Emphasis is placed on good technique, having fun and becoming a stronger swimmer.

Session I: (Tuesdays and Thursdays) from April 24 to May 17, 2012. Fee: $85.00.
Intermediate Level: from 4:30 - 5:00 pm. For ages 6 - 8
Mastery of Strokes: from 5:00 - 5:45 pm. For ages 9 and older

Organized Group Instruction
Do you have a Boy or Girl Scout Troop that needs an aquatic badge completed? We have an indoor facility available to accommodate all of your needs year-round. Fee: $30.00 per half hour for instructor, plus $8.00 guest fee for any non-member participants.

Lap Swimming
ADULT ONLY lap swim is available Monday-Sunday from 5:30 am-8:00 am.
Reminder: This is an unguarded time, swim at your own risk. There is a designated lane in the pool for lap swimmers use only during all pool hours, except Swim Team and summer lessons.


Stroke Analysis
Our coaches can analyze your stroke and offer input on improving your swimming technique. This will help increase your power, speed and endurance in the water. This session is especially beneficial to triathletes, competitive swimmers and individuals who want to cross-train.
