Take advantage of our free swim improvement clinic! Learn the ropes of lap swim etiquette, how to read a swim workout, and drills that will improve your stroke. This class is for beginner and intermediate level swimmers. We will complete a simple work-out in class utilizing the many swim aides we offer our members.

Each class is divided into groups. No need to be a speedy swimmer; we only ask that participants are able to swim the length of the pool.

Advanced swimmers may be interested in YOTA's Master Swim.

Competitor Swim Practice is available in short sessions, or you may choose to register for the entire season.

You will be expected to choose the days you will practice at the beginning of season and maintain them throughout the fall.
