Stroke Clinics
CARY coaches offer several stroke clinics throughout the year to help swimmers who want to improve their four competitive strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Swimmers practice and apply drills to improve their technique, making their strokes more efficient.
Stroke Technique Clinics
Take your competitive swimming skills to the next level with our Stroke Technique Clinics! Designed for competitive swimmers with at least 1 season of competitive experience, these small-group sessions focus on improving stroke mechanics, efficiency and race performance. Each clinic will provide individualized coaching in a low swimmer-to-coach ratio, allowing participants to receive personalized feedback and targeted instruction.
Each session focuses on a specific competitive stroke and includes work on starts and turns related to that stroke. The series concludes with a dedicated clinic focused on starts, turns and finishes to help swimmers gain confidence and speed in every aspect of their races.
