The Weekend Wahoo clinics are designed for seven to eighteen year olds and are taught in RSA’s competition pool.  Participants are separated into age groups:  7-10, 11-14, 15-18.  The Weekend Wahoo curriculum focuses on the four competitive strokes, (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly), as well as starts, turns (for participants eleven years old and older), finishes and drills.  Participants must be able to swim at least 25 yards unassisted.  

Clinics are held at RSA’s Sonner Aquatic Facility located at 1013 Jones Franklin Road in Raleigh, NC.
