School-year swim clinics in DC or MD?

[Anonymous]

My kids are decent summer swimmers, but have no desire to join a competitive year-round club and practice 2-3 times a week. That's fine with us as I'm not at all interested in forcing them into something they don't want to do or drag them out of the house multiple times a week. However, they are interested in opportunities to get in the water during the school year and work on stroke technique (obviously less endurance focused if only once a week). Last year we tried a program that was fine - but was also basically a full semester commitment and sometimes interfered with other seasonal activities.

Is there anything out there like that (once a week stroke clinic style for 11 and/or 8 year old) that holds classes in 4-8 week sessions? Where you can sign up for a couple in the "off-season" but not fully commit to a 9-month program. Bonus if it's fairly accessible from NE DC.

My kids would like this, too!

Fins does this in the fall and spring (8 weeks) outdoor at the old farm pool. Not sure if that’s too far.

I think Tollefson has stroke training sessions that are 8 or so weeks long? Our head summer coach is there full-time and she's fantastic with technique, especially with younger kids.
