Intensive Swim Lessons
Intensive swim lessons are a great way to build your child's confidence in the water as the summer gets under way. Most children hang up their swim suits once the pool closes for the season and they do not have any instruction until the EYC opens again in June. Get a jump start on their swimming with a 3:1 ratio between teachers and students. The consistency of 5 days in a row with the same teacher is key to your child's success. If your child needs to build confidence without their bubble or your child needs more independent stroke skill, we do it all. Your child will be matched with other students based on age and ability.
Cost is $100 per child for 5 days of lessons. These classes fill up fast and they are on a first come first serve basis.

He has since taken on the Head Coach's position for Salem High School and is also serving as the Salem Site-Coordinator for the New England YMCA Champions, the YNS Sharks.
John's workouts are great for the experienced swimmer, the triathlete, or the individual simply looking for a great workout.

Open-Water Swim Clinic
The EYC's Master Swim Coach, John Strom, will hold an Open-Water Swim Clinic for triathletes, open-water competitors, or anyone interested in learning and/or improving their open-water swimming skills. John will use drills and varying swim techniques that will assist the open-water swimmer:
- learn to use the waves to help you ride up and slide down
- time your stroke so you can breath without getting splashed in the face
- learn to breath bi-laterally to also avoid splashing, while aiding you in swimming straighter
- prepare and overcome the adrenaline rush that comes with the start of a race, or the sometimes tough water conditions
The clinic will take place on Saturday, June 19th from 7am-8:30am. The cost is $15 per person. A minimum of 6 swimmers is required to hold the clinic.
