STROKE CLINIC SPRING 2008 - updated 2/15/08

CLINIC INFO
Chicago Wolfpack Aquatics Club (CWAC) offers stroke clinics in the Spring for its
members and other USA Swimming registered athletes at two locations (UIC and
Evergreen Park)

These clinics are a great opportunity for swimmers to concentrate primarily on their
stroke technique while learning coordination and balance of the four primary strokes.

Clinics will include thorough instruction from qualified coaches emphasizing proper
form and technique.  Swimmers will watch video of proper technique and there will be
demonstrations of all strokes, drills and turns by coaches and swimmers.  Swimmers
will receive literature about the strokes for each session.

There will be four clinic sessions, one session for each of the four strokes.  Each
clinic session will be 3 days with the third day focusing on starts, breakouts, turns
and finishes for that stroke.  

Please note that these clinics are not meant to be swim lessons.  Swimmers are
expected to know how to swim.

COSTS
$30 per 3 day session or $100 for the full 12 day session
USA Swimming Membership for all non-USA Swimming members is $60 (see below)
