NUTRITION Advice
FROM Coach Jeff


Attention swimmers and parents:

Please remember that you can sign up to have private lessons with any of our coaches.

For a small fee you can get personal and individual instruction at the pool.

Coaches are available for either competitive Private or Group swim lessons.

Swim lessons are a complement to swim practice, not a substitute. Swim lessons allow swimmers to expand upon and receive more specific and individual instruction.

Practices provide for both technique and endurance training, while lessons are designed for individual swim technique training.

Look for sign up sheets on each coach’s personal schedule…usually hanging on the bulletin board in the entrance area.
