Awesome camp!
Great coaching staff, my daughter is 10 and loved it, learned sooooo much, really showed improvements at her next meets. Overall excellent experience.
Great experience!
My son is a 12 year old competitive swimmer. He loved the Nike swim camp and his first words when I picked him up were, " Can I come back next year?" I appreciate the enthusiasm of the coaches and the overall structure of the camp.
Thank you!
Norther Colorado was an excellent camp! My son came home and all his strokes looked better. He has struggled with his breaststroke for a couple of years and he came back with a much improved breaststroke! Coach Kelly is great-very organized and great with the kids!
