The Lock Haven Area YMCA will host a two day swim clinic with area native and current Duquesne head coach David Sheets. Sheets’ Division I program has had tremendous success in and out of the water in his ten years in Pittsburgh, breaking every established school record and having multiple conference champions along with 11 swimmers with NCAA “B” qualifying Standards. Sheets attended Clarion University where he was a 20 time NCAA Division II All-American.
Assisting Sheets will be his wife Christina who as an assistant coach with Clarion University has led the team to PSAC Championships and multiple top 5 finishes at the Division II NCAA Championship meet. She has many years of experience working with age group swimmers from the very popular Clarion University Swimming Camp. Christina also attended Clarion University where she was a 28 time NCAA Division II All-American and 5 time National Champion.
The clinic will run Saturday September 17th from 9am to 5pm for swimmers age 11 and over. Swimmers 10 and under will be Sunday, September 18th from 9am-5pm. Swimmers must be able to do all four competitive strokes. The clinic will cover stroke mechanics, drills, starts, and turns. Cost is $60 per swimmer and much of the money raised will be a fundraiser for the swim team boosters. For more information call Loggerhead Head Coach Joel Blesh at the Lock Haven YMCA at 570-748-6727. Please remember that space is limited in this exciting clinic!
