We provide our camp participants with an excellent opportunity to improve their swimming skills in the four competitive strokes and their associated starts and turns.

This camp is for resident campers and commuters.

Stroke Camp—Age 8 and Up: Technique! Technique!

This camp will provide all of the participants with an excellent opportunity to improve their swimming skills in the four competitive strokes and their swimming skills in the four competitive strokes and their associated starts and turns. Two swimming sessions will be held each day, emphasizing stroke technique improvement. Each day one stroke is highlighted in the lectures, drills and video taping. Each swimmer will have an opportunity to have all their strokes filmed, viewed and reviewed by our knowledgeable staff. Some conditioning work is included in the afternoon session, but the camp’s primary goal is stroke technique improvement.

Lectures on dry land training, general nutrition, goal setting and proper race strategies may also be part of the daily program.

Prerequisite: This camp is open to any and all with at least one year of competitive swimming experience. This is not a “learn to swim” program.

Training Camp—Age 12 and Up: A complete training environment!
This camp is offered to campers who want a more intensive training experience. There are two to three swimming sessions each day supplemented with a dry-land training program. Workouts are designed to incorporate the latest physiological principles. The campers are taught not only how to train but why it is good to do it that way. Improving stroke technique is always an important component of each workout. The campers are taught proper technique and use drills to reinforce the technique. Some evening technique, start and turn sessions along with lectures to explore such topics as stroke mechanics, basic physiology, race strategies and nutrition round out the camp.

Prerequisite: This camp is open to any and all, however, if the swimmer is not presently in a training program, this camp is not recommended.
