We are now offering private lessons to include videotaping above and below the water with stroke analysis . This is a hour+ lesson on the stroke or strokes of your choice. The cost of this private lesson will be: $65.00 for one stroke and $20.00 for each additional stroke/strokes.

This is a great tool to use in correcting stroke technique. Now you will be able to see what your coach can see and really understand the suggestions given.

See Coach Mark to set up a time for this.

Thank you all for the wonderful Christmas Cheer this season; the Rankin family really appreciated it. I wanted to also say thank you to all of you for your help with the tarps this season; especially my 5:30am crew. The membership numbers are great right now.--One more thank you for all of your support!

We will be Long Course Meters for about 3 weeks and quite often there after. We are gearing up for the Olympic Season and have quite a few of our Senior team members training for the Olympic Trials this Spring. As you may or may not know this is a Long Course event and we are trying to support our young athletes as best we can in their training. Thank you for your support and understanding with this and look for Brophy to represent the USA in 2008!

***A couple of minutes of stretching and arm swings before your swim workouts will protect your sholders in the long run. A good warm up and warm down is needed at every workout, please try to make time for it.***

Let's swim for life!! Ready Go!!
