Stroke School and Swim Team Programs

Our Stroke School is designed for swimmers with a strong foundation in fundamentals who want to learn competitive swimming techniques. It emphasizes proper technique over speed and prepares swimmers for competitive swim teams.
Skill Groups: The program is divided into two skill groups based on age and physical conditioning and knowledge of strokes, following USA Swimming standards and the Discover H2O curriculum.
Requirements: To join the program, swimmers must be at least 5 years old and have completed level 3 in the Discover H2O curriculum. Younger or lower-level swimmers may need to pass a swim test measuring skills required for the lowest stroke school level.
Training Sessions: Each one-hour practice is tailored to one of the three skill levels, focusing on building endurance and preparing swimmers for joining a local swim team.
Contact Information: For questions or to determine if a swimmer is ready for the Stroke School program, contact Caley Zannoni
