• ‘Stroke School' Offers New Opportunities for Youth Swimmers (belmontvoice.org) — Belmont families whose kids didn’t make the Dolphins now have a new option: Stroke School, a small-group Friday night program at Belmont High’s Higginbottom Pool focused on building core swim skills. Led by longtime coach Megan Olowinski, resident Hilary Forster, and high school swimmers, the pilot effort is already helping young swimmers gain confidence and even move onto the team.
