Advanced stroke clinics are ideal for swimmers previously enrolled in Barracudas Gold level practices or swimmers looking to transition from our Silver level to Gold.

Swimmers will also work on competitive swimming skills such as starts and turns with some endurance-based sets as well.

Swimmers must be able to swim 100 yards comfortably and have an understanding of all four competitive strokes. Please contact Head Coach Hailey at barracudas@annarborymca.org with any questions.
