The Long Island Swimming Stroke Clinic is the ideal program for 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. Our trained instructors work with each child in a small group to guarantee individual progress. Swimmers build their overall stamina and endurance in addition to improving their strokes. Many swimmers in the program progress to the next level, our competitive swim team.
​
The 2019 Spring Stroke Clinic session runs now until June 23rd. If you're interested in joining the Stroke Clinic program email Gabby Borutecene @ strokeclinic@longislandswimming.com

May STROKE CLINIC SWIMMERS OF THE MONTH

Campbell Olcott is a new swimmer to our Beginner Red Stroke Clinic this session! Campbell is always ready and on time every week. Since day one she has been working hard on fixing her backstroke and butterfly. It’s great to see her holding her line at the surface of the water and seeing her arms swing over the water! She gives each class her all and works hard consistently each week. What’s great to see is when there is a correction to be made, she listens and applies what the instructor tells her. Her underwater streamlines are coming along great! She works hard at trying to do what the instructor advises her in class. We’re excited to see Campbell continue to progress throughout the session. Way to go Campbell!

Lilian Coratti has been in the Long Island Swim School program since she was a toddler! She is now in Intermediate White Stroke Clinic at 6 years old! It has been amazing to watch her progression in and out of the pool. Her consistency allows her to advance from blowing bubbles and learning how to get in and out of the pool safely to now wearing a snorkel and doing sailboat drill with her freestyle kick helping her move forward. She is always happy and eager to learn! She recently learned how to dive from the racing blocks at the aquatic center and we can’t wait to do it over and over again in class! Keep it up Lilian!

Charlotte Corallo is in Advanced Blue Stroke Clinic and currently swims twice a week. Charlotte has a positive and energetic attitude every time she comes to class. Every week she comes to class on time and ready to learn! Always ready with equipment and great leader in the group. She knows the drills and applies them without hesitation. She works hard every class to achieve her swim goals. She also competed in our Stroke Clinic May Mayhem Mini Meet! Her racing starts and streamlines continue to improve every week! She’s never afraid to ask for help and asks great questions during class. Charlotte continues to excel each week. She’s a great lane leader and is always interacting with the other swimmers in her class. The focus and dedication she demonstrates in class is fantastic to work with every week. Nice work Charlotte!
