Hi Marlins families!

If your swimmer wants to keep improving after the summer season, now is a great time to start looking at fall swim opportunities.

Two great local programs are:

• Montgomery Stroke & Turn Clinic (MSTC): Focuses on improving stroke technique, starts, and turns. This clinic is held on Sunday evenings from October-May. Registration opens on 8/11/26 at 6:30am. More info can be found here: https://www.mstcswim.com

• SwiMontgomery: A developmental swim program that helps swimmers continue building their skills in a fun, supportive environment. More information can be found here: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/rec/activitiesandprograms/aquatics/competitiveprograms.html

If you’re considering year-round swim clubs, two strong options in our area are RMSC (Rockville Montgomery Swim Club) and Machine Aquatics. Both offer excellent coaching and support for swimmers at all levels.

RMSC has multiple sites across Montgomery County (MLK, Olney, KSAC, Rockville, and Germantown) and a long history of developing competitive swimmers. RMSC MLK and Olney tryout registrations are open and filling up quickly. I have attached more info below  

Machine Aquatics also has Maryland locations and is known for its technique-focused coaching. Tryout information and registration can be found here: Machine Aquatics

All of the above programs are excellent programs to keep your swimmer(s) progressing year round. Please reach out if you need any help getting started!

Best,

Chi Hoang-Em
