Your swimmer loves the water and swims freestyle and backstroke but needs help learning breaststroke, butterfly, racing dives, etc. They may be interested in joining a winter swim team in the future so they should be introduced to the practice board and clock. This class is for the swimmer that has progressed beyond our Level 5 class and is getting ready for swim team.

Note: This class takes place after the Aquatics Department's normal operating hours. Participants will have access to changing facilities but no showers after class. They will exit through the back gate near the Aquatics Department.
