Spring Clinics
Orinda Aquatics brings its 35-year history of unparalleled success to our specialized Spring Clinics. Designed specifically for competitive summer-league swimmers, these sessions focus on technique and fundamental development in all four strokes, as well as turn development. With strong ties to the local rec clubs, high schools, and USA Swimming, our coaching staff provides the highest level of awareness and sensitivity to the needs of summer-league swimmers.
Note:2027 Spring Clinics Registration link will be published in February, 2027.
Is This Clinic Right for Your Swimmer?
These clinics are designed for athletes aged 7 to 14 (based on their competition age for the upcoming summer, as of June 15, 2027). To participate, swimmers must have prior swim team experience and possess the strength and stamina to swim multiple laps of freestyle with proper side breathing. Please note this is a competitive stroke development clinic, not a Learn-to-Swim program.

We fully adhere to OMPA and County Meet Eligibility Rules. Participating in all five of our scheduled clinics will account for exactly 3 hours and 45 minutes of the allowable 15-hour maximum pre-season clinic/lesson time limit.

Registration Policies & Deadlines
Space in our clinics is strictly limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. All athletes must pre-register online prior to arriving at the pool, as we cannot accept walk-ins.
Registration for each upcoming weekend closes promptly at 9:00 PM on the Thursday prior to the session. It will reopen after the weekend for future dates. The final deadline to register for any remaining spring clinics is Thursday, March 27th (or sooner if capacity is reached).
Because space is highly constrained, we cannot offer make-up sessions for missed clinics. If you need to cancel your registration, please note that refunds are subject to a $25 administrative processing fee, and no refunds will be issued after March 15th.
