STROKE AND TURN

This is a great way to get a head start on summer recreational swimming.  Come, get wet, see old friends, make new friends, and improve strokes, starts and turns.   Swimmers will refine the four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.  This program is for swimmers who are capable of swimming these strokes, who want to begin their conditioning, refine their strokes and become more efficient.

MERMAID SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING TEAM

New swimmers of all ages (7-18) are encouraged to join. Swimmers must attend one of our pre-season Free Beginner Clinics or contact the coach to arrange a different time for a swim assessment (theauburnmermaids@gmail.com).   All swimmers and a parent are urged to attend Back in Sync on April 27 and provide a refundable, parent participation check made out to Mermaids in the amount of $125.
