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 2020 Winter Stroke Clinic session runs now until March 15th. If you're interested in joining the Stroke Clinic program email Gabby at strokeclinic@longislandswimming.com

January STROKE CLINIC SWIMMERS OF THE MONTH

Stefonn is in the Beginner Red Stroke Clinic and is one of the hardest workers I have ever had the pleasure to coach! He has committed himself to practicing his Butterfly timing and his Breaststroke kick and his progress is really showing in the pool. He faces every challenge with a smile that quickly spreads to the rest of class. His love for swimming shows every time he walks onto the pool deck combined with his hard work is the reason why he is nominated for swimmer of the month! Keep it up Steffon!

Thea Hurst just moved up to the Intermediate White Stroke Clinic from our Beginner Red Stroke Clinic, showing a great passion for swimming! She is working on her big swing in Freestyle and always asks questions on how to correct her strokes. She challenges herself with using the snorkel and was able to understand immediately how to work with it. She is always ready to help her swim buddies in her class with a big smile! Way to go, Thea!

​Breanna Vernet is in our Advanced Blue Stroke Clinic this Winter and is very eager to swim and learn each week. She always walks in with all her equipment with a big smile on her face and says hello to all the coaches on deck. She is always paying attention and asks questions when she doesn’t understand something. She likes to know what she has to improve on to make her strokes better. Breanna attends class every week and is always excited to help other swimmers in the group. We are looking forward to watching and helping her continue to grow as a swimmer, Great work Breanna!
