1 Why Nike Swim Camps?

Offered during the year and located at colleges and universities across the country, Nike Swim Camps are a great place for competitive swimmers to improve their stroke technique, starts and turns, and overall performance. Our mission is to stimulate your love for swimming, in a positive and healthy environment, all while maximizing your swimming potential.

2 Are Nike Swim Camps for beginners or learn to swim?

No, participants are expected to have basic swim knowledge. These camps DO NOT teach participants how to swim. Enrollment will be limited to ensure that individuals will receive special attention and maximize their participation. For your safety and benefit, we recommend all participants have competitive swimming experience (E.G. U.S.S. Age Group, National Qualifiers, High School Swimmers, or Summer League Swimmers) with all four competitive strokes: Fly, Back, Breast and Freestyle.

3 I finished registration, What's next?

  1. Fill out your Health & Release Forms: Use your confirmation number (in your confirmation email to complete your health & release forms ahead of camp! Please visit https://www.ussportscamps.com/health-and-release-faq/ and review your packet for any camp specifics forms * If your camper is attending a camp in Massachusetts or Connecticut, please follow the Health & Release Form instructions listed in your Information Packet.
  2. Read your Info Packet: which will be sent out close to the camp start date which includes the following important information and more: Onsite Camp Director contact information, Mandatory Health and Release forms and waivers, Peace of Mind & Cancellation Policy, and Covid-19 safety information.

4 When will I get my confirmation email?

Confirmation email will be sent 24-48 hours after submitting your registration.

5 What skill levels are available?

Nike Swim Camps are for competitive to elite swimmers looking to improve their stroke technique, starts and turns, and overall performance.

6 What are the differences between overnight, extended day, and day camps?

Overnight Camps: Experience everything Nike Soccer Camps has to offer! Our overnight camps include soccer instruction, fun evening activities, all meals, and on-campus housing.

Extended Day Camps: Ideal for commuter campers looking for the full camp experience. Includes 7+ hours of daily soccer instruction, lunch, dinner, and evening activities. Extended Day camps typically run from 9am-8pm or 9pm daily.

Day Camps: Day Camps offer the same great instruction and games as our Overnight Camps, but allows campers to return home after a hard day’s work. Day camps typically run from 9am-3pm or 4pm daily.

7 Do you offer scholarships?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

8 Can my team come to camp and train together?

Yes! We encourage teams to register and train together. Teams can be placed together in the pool. Please add a note at check-out and mention it to the camp director on day 1.

9 Do you offer group discounts?

Yes! We offer the following group discounts for most Nike Swim Camp locations:

4-7 campers: $25 off per camper
8 or more campers:
$30 off per camper

Please have a team contact reach out directly to the USSC office at 1-800-645-3226 to receive a discount code to identify your group. Campers may then register through the website at their convenience and apply the coupon code during check-out.

12 What is Cancellation Protection?

US Sports Camps offers our camp families Cancellation Protection for $50 per session, due at the time of registration. Cancellation Protection entitles you to a full refund of your camp tuition fees paid to date if you cancel for any reason before your final payment date (the first day of the month prior to the month of your camp start date. i.e. final pay date is May 1st if your camp date begins in the month of June). Please note: $50 Cancellation Protection and the Registration Fee are non-refundable.

With Cancellation Protection, if you cancel after your final payment due date and at least 24 hours prior to camp check-in, you will receive a VOUCHER for all tuition fees paid, valid through the following calendar year.

Your VOUCHER is transferable to an immediate family member and may be used in the sport in which you initially registered.
