USMS Stroke Development Clinic - Orlando

USMS Stroke Development and Improvement Clinic for Swimmers - Orlando, Florida
U.S. Masters Swimming is sponsoring a no cost stroke development and improvement clinic for swimmers of all abilities. This is not a learn-to-swim clinic or lesson. Strokes, starts and turns will be evaluated and corrected with the use of drills and coach instruction. USMS certified Masters coaches will be on hand 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. Swimmers should be able to swim 200 yards of freestyle comfortably.
