OVERNIGHT & COMMUTER CAMP—AGE 8 AND UP
Saturday June 29 – Wednesday July 3
Resident camper cost: $625
Commuter camper cost: $410
The June camp will provide all of the participants with an excellent opportunity to improve their swimming skills in the four competitive strokes and the associated starts and turns. Campers will have two swimming sessions during the day as well as classroom and dry-land activities. All sessions will include an emphasis on stroke technique and some conditioning. Each day we emphasize one stroke in the lectures, drills and video review. Every swimmer will have an opportunity to have their strokes filmed, viewed and evaluated by our knowledgeable staff.

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.
