We have three events this week.
Today Monday 4/7 - County Meet is hosting their Annual clinic in Walnut Creek

There will be a Stroke and Turn clinic open to all summer recreational swim teams at The Greenery Restaurant (1551 Marchbanks Dr.) which is directly across the street from the Heather Farm's pool.
This is a free clinic for anyone interested, and is for all experience levels, including those who have never performed the role. This will be led by our head Stroke and Turn officials at the County Meet.
The clinic will be held in the banquet room at The Greenery. No food or drink will be provided, but it will be available to purchase. No RSVP with County Committee is necessary.
