So I'm signed up for my first Masters stroke clinic scheduled next month. I've swam with a coached Master's group for about 2 years now but was never previously on a swim team. (I learned to swim through a 197Os style Red Cross program.) I've competed in one very small swim meet and 8 open water events. In my two years with masters I've learned how to do flip turns, butterfly, streamlines, relearned *** the modern way, and improved my form with free and back. I've had four different coaches giving me sometimes contradictory advice on form. 2 of the coaches focus on form a decent amount the but the other two are conditioning oriented. I've signed up for the stroke clinic in hopes of getting more useful help on form since I'm not getting enough at my home pool.
So my question is what should I expect and is there anything I should do to prepare? I'm a little nervous about whether I am fit enough to last all morning. My typical workouts are 75 minutes rather than half day and 2200-2500 yards - occasionally up to 3000.
Any advice would be much appreciated
My LMSC sent an email a few days ago about an upcoming clinic in the area:

For this one, I really have no excuse, the pool is about 10 minutes from home, and the cost $35, so I already registered. Not sure who the instructors are (I didn't see it listed), but figure if I can get some work on my free--and especially fly--all the better. I can manage to swim a 25 fly occasionally (and have swum 100 IM at a few meets), but it really needs some help. I used to have a goal to be able to swim (legally, without stopping, and without breaststroke kick) both the 200 fly and 400 IM, perhaps there's hope for me yet.
