Through technical swim knowledge, race strategy and positive feedback, the Technique Swim Academy is designed to help competitive swimmers at all levels improve.
Under the supervision of the Harvard Coaches and our exceptional staff, we focus on reinforcing strong technique through demonstrations, practice drills and video review.
Our instructors serve as role models for our swimmers, promoting sportsmanship and providing a positive and healthy learning environment where swimmers are excited by the sport and eager to learn about all facets of competitive swimming. The afternoon fitness component enables swimmers to incorporate what they learn each morning into simulated practice and race situations to further emphasize practical use of these skills and ensure an enjoyable summer swim experience.
