Former Olympian and Stanford's Head Women's Coach, Lea Maurer, directs this week of camp. Coach Maurer is in her third season leading the Cardinal. As a Cardinal swimmer from 1990-94, Maurer swam on three of Richard Quick's national championship squads (1992, '93, '94), adding 10 NCAA individual and relay titles during her collegiate swimming career. Among Maurer's NCAA crowns were three consecutive wins in the 100 back (1992, '93, '94) as well as a 200 back victory in 1993. She was also a member of six victorious NCAA relay teams. Maurer added 15 Pac-10 titles (seven individual, eight relays) and 21 All-American honors (19 at Stanford) to her collegiate swimming resume. She was a member of 400 (1993) and 800 free (1992) relay teams that set school records that still stand today. In addition, Maurer is still second on Stanford's all-time list of performers in the 100 and 200 back, as well as sixth in the 200 individual medley.

After finishing her collegiate swimming career at Stanford, Lea started in the coaching profession as an assistant at Northwestern University for a program that placed 11th at the NCAA's and third in the Big 10 in 1995. In 1996, she began a prep dynasty as the head boys' and girls' coach at Lake Forest High School (Lake Forest, IL), leading the boys' squad to the 2002-03 mythical National Championship and the girls' team to the 2003 Public School National Championship. In 10 years at Lake Forest, her girls' team also won a pair of state titles (2002, '03) while her boys' squad was the state champion in 2003. In addition, she was named the Illinois Swimming Association Coach of the Year on eight occasions (five girls, three boys) while coaching 85 All-American and honorable mention All-American swimmers, as well as nine individual and seven relay state champions.

In 2002, Maurer started Scout Aquatics, growing the program to its current total of 175 swimmers. As the head senior coach for the organization, she was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the program. Several of her swimmers have finaled at the U.S. Olympic Trials, U.S. Nationals, U.S. Open and Junior Nationals.

Maurer swam competitively until 2000, spending a total of 11 years (1989-96, 1998-2000) on the USA National Team. She held the American record in the 100 meter backstroke from 1992-2001, originally setting the mark on the leadoff leg of a gold medal 4 x 100 American medley relay team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and breaking her own record during the prelims of a winning performance at the 1998 World Championships. Maurer, who was also a bronze medalist in the 100 back at the 1992 Olympics, earned a spot on the USA Swimming All-Century team in the event.

Campers train daily in the Avery Pool Complex, featuring two Olympic sized pools and a diving pool with platform. This is one of the most state of the art facilities in the United States.
