Important information about Spring Clinic:
- Clinic is not restricted to Livorna swimmers. There are a limited number of spaces available in each age group session so register early.
- Please note that we will have minimal in-water assistance during Spring Clinic. Swimmers should have at least one season of swim team experience or prior approval from Coach Matt or Coach Claire.
- During Spring Clinic, the coaches will be focusing primarily on stroke technique. Each week will focus on a different stroke and/or a different technique (eg. streamlines, flip turns, diving), depending on age group.

Development Clinic
In 2024 and 2025 we were able to offer an additional clinic we called our "Development Clinic", which was specifically meant for swimmers who were not quite swim team ready at the beginning of March, but potentially could be so by try outs in April with some extra help. By offering this clinic, we hoped to give swimmers on the cusp the boost they needed to join the full team, and indeed many Development Clinic swimmers successfully joined our summer team!
We are hoping to also offer this in 2026, but this depends on our ability to appropriately staff this clinic, which depends on evolving schedules! Please check back closer to January for more information on a potential 2026 Development Clinic!
