BCC Offers Swim Clinic for Area High School Students
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC) will hold a swim clinic for high school students on Saturday, June 28 at 9:30 am at Paterson Field House, located on BCC's main campus at 1350 West Street, Pittsfield.
The clinic is open to all high school–aged swimmers entering ninth through 12th grades in the 2025-26 school year. The fee is $45 ($30 for Paterson Field House gym members). The clinic is limited to 30 swimmers, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Coach Chris Colburn will lead the session, designed for high school swimmers preparing for the upcoming season who want to learn tips, practice drills and improve techniques for swimming faster and more efficiently. It includes 30-45 minutes of on-deck instruction, followed by about two hours in the water working on stroke mechanics and drills. Students will receive feedback on their strokes, as well as tips for applying that feedback during the high school season.
Students should already be able to swim at least 100 yards of freestyle unassisted and non-stop. The clinic includes many drills, most of which will be one or two lengths of the pool.
Proceeds from the clinic will benefit the BCC Athletics program.
