New this winter is the Vanderbilt Acorns December swim clinics Dec. 21–22 and 28–30. December swim clinics are for swimmers 4–18 years old looking to enhance or learn new skills during their winter break.
Morning clinics will focus on stroke technique, while afternoon clinics will focus on endurance. These clinics are open to both registered Acorns swim team members as well as participants who are not a member of the swim team.
Beginner-level swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards of freestyle unassisted. Clinic times are 9:30–10 a.m. and 4:30–5 p.m.
Intermediate swimmers must be proficient in all four strokes. Clinic times are 9:15–10:00 a.m. and 4:15–5 p.m.
Advanced swimmers are those who have had previous swim team experience and are looking for extra training to improve fitness and technique. Clinic times are 9–10 a.m. and 4–5 p.m.
Pricing is broken down by the number of sessions you purchase per swimmer. For a five-session package that includes one morning or afternoon clinic each day, non-Acorn participants pay $90, while Acorn swim team members pay $85.
