fun!
The SMST swimming clinics are designed for the swimmer who loves to
swim or is involved in summer league teams and desires to improve
their strokes and maintain contact with the sport of swimming
during the off season. League rules allow swimmers to return
to recreational swimming following this clinic if they wish to do
so.
Swimmers
must be 10 years of age and be able to swim 50 yards freestyle with
side breathing and 25 yards backstroke in order to participate.
This year, our clinic swimmers will be working with our year around
coaches Aimee Lehr and Brad Robbins!
 
“Helping kids become extraordinary
individuals through the sport of
swimming”
The
Sierra Marlins is a USA Swimming Silver Medal Team that emphasizes
competitive success at National Championships. SMST provides
programs (fall program, spring clinic, masters, swim school, etc.)
for all ages, skill and commitment levels. The Sierra Marlins
emphasizes a strong team concept and teaching life concepts is a
vital component of our organization at all
levels.nbsp;
Our
central theme is, “Helping kids become extraordinary
individuals through the sport of swimming”, and we live that
theme everyday. Our coaching staff is committed to teaching
life skills through swimming and we believe there is much more
value to our sport than just learning the physical skills. Swimming
provides an arena for children to learn to deal with success and
failure as well as the value of hard work and goal setting. In
other words, each meet, event, practice, set and repeat serves as a
challenge to better oneself. Participation provides an avenue for
parents and coaches to praise and encourage a swimmers effort and
achievements and over time, a child’s self esteem can be
positively affected.
Our
Coaches view themselves as educators first and strive to teach
swimmers about various life issues through a curriculum of concepts
that are introduced every week. Personal responsibility, integrity,
hard work and our other concepts are taught intensively over the
course of a week, each swim season. As the seasons pass, swimmers
are certain to learn skills and strategies that they can use to
enhance their lives far after their participation in competitive
swimming is over.
