Establishing excellent technique is essential for safe swimming and to raise your swimmer's potential for long term success in our sport. "Take Your Mark" will cover all competitive strokes in addition to introducing competitive starts and turns. All sessions will be coached by expert stroke technician and Techniq Group founder, Jeff Gross.
