Stroke Development Clinic

USMS is sponsoring a USMS stroke development and improvement clinic for swimmers of all abilities.  All four strokes will be evaluated and corrected with the use of drills and coach instruction.  Bill Brenner and local Masters coaches will be on hand to help you improve your technique and teach you drills that will enable you to continue to refine your stroke.  Swimmers are not required to swim all strokes and may work on only those strokes they choose.  All swimmers must be able to swim a minimum of 200 yards comfortably.

ALTS Certification

More than a third of adults in the United States can’t swim the length of a pool, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which puts them at risk of being one of the 10 people who drown every day in this country.  U.S. Masters Swimming’s Adult Learn-to-Swim initiative is on the front lines to change this statistic.  With education, outreach, and financial support, USMS is making more adults safer around water.

USMS’s Adult Learn-to-Swim Instructor Certification Program trains and educates swim instructors in the methods and techniques that work best for adult learners.
