If you are interested in refining your already legal strokes, it is time to sign up for our very popular FISH stroke clinics offered in Reston at Hunters Woods and in Annandale at the Wakefield/Audrey Moore RECenter.

Registrations will be accepted on a first come first served basis.

Brooke Ream has been a member of The FISH for the better part of 9 years, starting off in Advanced Age Group and progressing all the way to Awesome Fish. Brooke has made it this far with a goal-oriented attitude, a strong work ethic, and a desire to improve both as a person and an athlete.
