Host:  U.S. Masters Swimming
Sponsor: Oklahoma City LMSC
Contact: Marianne Groenings mgroenings@usms.org

USMS is hosting a stroke development and improvement clinic for swimmers of all abilities. All four strokes will be evaluated and corrected with the use of drills and coach instruction. Several of the top coaches in Oklahoma City will be on hand, along with mentor coaches Dave Burgess, Mel Goldstein and Bill Brenner, to help you improve your technique and teach you drills that will enable you to continue to refine your stroke. Swimmers are not required to swim all strokes and may work on only those strokes they choose.
