Swim Clinics & Intersquad Swim Team

Our clinic program is offered to swimmers looking for a more competitive environment and is open for children as young as 5 years of age.  This program offers incredible options for swimmers who are looking for more than one lesson each week, but who are not yet ready or do not want to make the huge commitment of joining a YMCA or Club Swim program. This program allows for each family to customize a class schedule that works best for them.  During the course of our clinic program swimmers will learn the necessary skills to join a higher level swim team while continuing to build endurance and master advanced techniques for competition. Swimmers will improve starts, streamlines, pullouts and flipturns for all four strokes. They will also learn how to be more efficient in their strokes, breathing techniques, and underwaters in preparation for a competitive racing environment. After successful completion of our clinic program swimmers will be confident and ready to join a competitive swim team and continue their lifelong love of aquatics. 

Clinic participants will have the option to practice 1-3 times a week as well as the option to swim in on our intersquad swim team which competes once per month. Clinics are offered at both The Morristown Beard School (MBS) as well as The County College of Morris (CCM). 

Clinic Levels

Our Clinic program is divided into lanes/levels, which all meet during every clinic practice.  Our swimmers will begin in a Pre-Clinic, which is an introduction to swimming full lengths of the 25 yard pool. Swimmers will master both long and short axis strokes   using a variety of drills and detailed technique work. The curriculum for our pre-clinic is similar to our Level 4 class within our Learn to Swim program. The main difference being that our clinic program meets in a larger class size, competitive length pool and mimics a pre-swim team atmosphere to jumpstart swimmers love and passion for higher level aquatic training.

Often drills will be performed in half laps to ensure swimmers are working on proper form.  After swimmers move to our full clinic program, they will be assessed and moved into lanes for levels A, B, C, D, and E.  These levels are fluid and a swimmer is moved up in level as soon as they are deemed ready by their weekly coaches. Clinic A begins at age 6, and our clinic program encompasses all swimmers up to age 18.
