Participants |
All levels of swimmers. Most swimmers will want to work on their front crawl
(which is usually called freestyle). More experienced swimmers can choose
any stroke. Before enrolling, you should be comfortable swimming front crawl one
length of the pool with "swimming breathing" (i.e., swimming with your
face in the water, and rotating to the air to breathe). If you need help getting
to that point, contact Coach Bill for additional
coaching options. |
| Equipment | Goggles
and a snug-fitting swimsuit; fins optional, but Alpha Fins from Aqua Sphere are
recommended - see the Equipment page. |
| Cost | $175
for Mount Auburn Club members, $235 for others |
