Swim-Stroke Analysis Available

The analysis is helpful for people training for triathlons and the Ironman competition, and those who want to maximize efficiency and prevent injuries. For individuals who would like additional technique work, the center offers technique swim lessons, which lets swimmers apply information obtained through stroke analysis to their swimming with individualized lessons with an aquatic specialist.
