How many of you would like to spend some extra time in the pool purely on stroke technique.
In hopes to better inform you, below is the set up for the clinics.
The Clinic is the Week of August 25th
For All New Swimmers, Bronze and Novice:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday
6pm to 6:45pm
M-T-W-F
7pm to 8pm
The location will be Burnsville High School.
We will be focusing on one stroke a day - we will be going in IM Order (i.e. Monday is Butterfly, Tuesday is Backstroke, etc…) We will break the stroke down to the fundamentals, build it back up, and work turns and starts that match the stroke.
There is no requirement to be there everyday, but we would encourage you to - as each session will be 45min - 1 hour in length. This is an opportunity to really focus on good technique. We hope you come ready to listen, learn, and willing to demonstrate the drills and skills that we hope you will pick up along the way.
The charge is $40 for each 4 day session.

Black Dog Swimming has long had a strong presence in the swimming community with several parents serving as swimming officials at competitions. We’re currently looking for a few more individuals to step up and continue our tradition! It’s a great way to learn about the official rules of the sport and to give back to the swimming community! And talk about being “close to the action”!
Learning more, helping everyone compete fairly, putting yourself in a role that is appreciated and respected by swimmers and coaches is a great way to be more involved in your child’s sport.
Training is provided by MSI and by “shadowing” certified officials at sanctioned meets. Once established, you can even be right there on deck with the National meets we host here in the Twin Cites. Olympians will be within an arms reach.
If you have an eye for detail and are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Carol Webb (Click the image above).
Thanks for considering this unique opportunity.
Black Dog Swimming has a tradition of excellence in competitive swimming that spans more than 20 years. We offer multiple practice locations in the Twin Cities South Metro Area, and have a current roster of over 200 swimmers from Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Savage, Prior Lake, Lakeville and surrounding communities.
Our philosophy is simple: to encourage our swimmers and families to have fun while developing a high level of self-esteem, goal setting, sportsmanship and physical fitness. We consistently finish among the top 3 swim clubs in the state, and have a dedicated coaching staff, led by Rocky O’Neill, with combined experience of over 50 years!
If you are interested in swimming with us or would like more information, please contact Regan Cox, club president.
Our team consists of nearly 200 swimmers from various communities South of The River [Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Savage, Prior Lake, Lakeville, etc.]. We currently hold practice at 3 pools: Eagle Ridge Junior High in Savage; Burnsville High School and Rosemount Middle School.
Our goals are simple: to encourage our swimmers and families to have fun while developing a high level of self-esteem, goals, sportsmanship, physical fitness, and a positive outlook. Black Dog Swimmers range in age from 6 to 25 with skill levels just as broad!
Our certified coaches maintain a philosophy of developing our swimmers in all strokes and all distances. Many of our swimmers compete locally, some travel out of state, and others compete at national events, depending on skill level. Our coaching staff is dedicated to the sport of swimming and to continuing our team’s tradition of excellence.
I encourage anyone who is considering competitive swimming to try one of our 8-week Novice sessions to see if Black Dog Swimming is right for you!
