swimmers ages 7-18 years old and all abilities.
STAT’s goals are to give swimmers the best
coaching available, increase their skills and confidence (both in
and out of the pool), create lasting friendships, have fun, and
most of all give them a life-long interest in swimming and leading
a healthy, active lifestyle. Morning and afternoon - evening
programs are available and run from early September ’08 thru
late July ’09.

time.
