Are you a swimmer who is looking to join a swim group for the first time? Do you struggle to read and understand the white board in training? Are you unsure why or how to use various swim equipment like pull buoy, paddles, fins, snorkel? Do you want to know how to make the most out of interval training for the swim? Then our Swim Training Clinic is for you!

What is it? 1.25 hour Swim Training Clinic at Regent Park Aquatic Club, starting from 6:30 to 7:45am on Thursday, Sept 6th
