Participants must tryout with one of the coaches before sign up.

Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn
additional water safety skills and build stroke technique,
developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase
social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a
lifetime of physical activity.

Each day we will target a different stroke and go more into depth on the mechanics of them.
