SWIM STROKE STRENGTHENING WORKSHOPS

The Aqua Swim Stroke Workshops are skill-based swim technique intensives designed to help adult swimmers—beginner through experienced—swim more efficiently, confidently, and comfortably. Each 60-minute, in-water workshop takes place in the lap pool with a Swim Instructor or Coach and focuses on one stroke or key movement pattern at a time. These sessions are technique-first, giving participants clear instruction, guided practice, and individual feedback in a supportive, educational environment.

SATURDAYS | 1:00PM – 2:00PM

COMPLIMENTARY FOR MEMBERS
Drop-in, no registration required.
Meet on pool deck, ready to swim!
