That first week back on the summer swim team can be nothing
short of exhausting. Many kids only swim in the summer and need time to
recondition their bodies and their cardiovascular system to get used to
swimming an hour every day. The Aquatics Team has a few options to help get
kids prepped for summer swim team.
Spring Tune-Up
6 sessions, $100 at
Olney and MLK Swim Centers
This class is run by the Montgomery Stroke & Turn Clinic
for kids who want to work on their technique before heading back into summer
competition. MSTC is designed for kids ages 5-18 years old who want to work on
the four competitive strokes, improve starts and turns, and gain strength. This
is not specifically a training program but will help summer swimmers regain
proper stroke mechanics and refine their technique.
