We offer three types of clinics:
Single Day Clinics
The goal of our clinics is to help you swim faster. Our approach to instructing will teach you the proper swimming technique necessary for dramatic improvement. The clinics include classroom discussions, underwater videotaping, our "feel for the water" tools and in the water instruction from Clay and his experienced coaching staff. At the end of the day, you will have had the necessary instruction and drills to begin improving your swimming. You will also receive a list of swim drills, techniques and our "Swim Drills On Video" DVD that you can use to improve your technique during your workouts. Within two weeks after the clinic you will receive a copy of your swim on DVD with voiceover critique. Our monthly clinics are small in size and our coaching approach is very personal, thus ensuring high quality clinics. To register for an upcoming clinic or to ask any questions, send an email to Clay at the address below.

Power Clinics
These specialized clinics provide a higher level of personalized instruction. The clinics are limited to six swimmers but still have three instructors yielding a 2 to 1 swimmer to coach ratio. In addition, you will be videotaped before the instruction begins and again after you have worked with your coaches so that you can see your improvement. You will receive both videotapes with voiceover on a DVD. Additionally, every swimmer will be assured to be evaluated by Clay in the pool and on video. If you are looking for the private instruction experience with videotaping, this is the clinic for you. The cost is $250.

Clinic Series This clinic will consist of three 2 hours sessions and is designed for those who want to improve their swimming through a progression of steps. Each session will build on the previous clinic with the goal of having each swimmer swimming dramatically better after completing the third session. The sessions are spread out enough to allow you to practice what you learned before the next session. Also, each swimmer will be extensively videotaped and critiqued and will receive a copy of all the taping at the completion of the clinic. The 3 series will be limited to 15 swimmers, so please email for more details or to register. The Cost is $325. These clinics are held at the Lab School from 7-9pm on the following dates:
