Introduction to Competitive Swimming
Aquatics and Safety

Storm Swim Club is partnering with Lakeville Area Community Education to provide a class option that will serve to bridge the gap between swim lessons and more competitive options that the Storm Club offers. The professional staff from the Storm Swim Club will be instructing this class. Swimmers should have completed, or have skills equivalent to Level 6, or Advanced 2, and feel comfortable swimming unassisted. The goal is to equip swimmers at all levels with the skills and conditioning needed for competitive swimming. For more information, please contact Phil Smith, coachphil@mnstorm.org.
