What Makes Our Clinics Different?
-
Pro Coaching in Every Lane: We maintain a low athlete-to-coach ratio (1 coach per lane) plus a floating lead coach to ensure you get personalized technical feedback on every lap.

A Proven Path: Phase 1 fixes your "leaks," and Phase 2 puts your new skills to the test in a race-simulated environment.
Phase 1: Technical Mastery (Pool - Feb 1st)

Requirement: For long-course athletes ready for race-specific training. Minimum continuous swim capacity: 100 yds (pool) / 100 yds (OWS).
