Course Information:
Minimum Swim Ability
If you want to participate in a Vmps Open Water Swim Clinic, you should be able to swim at least 100 yards (up and back twice in a standard lap swimming pool) without touching down. You dont
need to go fast or do the freestyle stroke the entire distance, but you
do need this basic level of fitness and swim ability to get the most
benefit from the clinic. Note: the coaches do not work on swim stroke
form during this clinic other than how it is related to open water
swimming. Vmps offers a number of other swimming services to help people
with their swim stroke form or to help them with swim fitness.
