  • Really Good Camp, Lots of Fun for the Swimmer!

    March 3, 2018: My then 10 year old daughter (now 11) attended this camp during June, 2018. There was definitely improvement in her strokes. The dorm rooms were very comfortable and the food except. My daughter did not want to attend the camp before she went, then demanded to attend the camp this year because she had such a great time. We overnight ed her and it appears very safe. I did not like the start and turn clinic because there were to many students and not enough detailed corrections. If the starts and turns was done better I would have rated the camp 5 star. She will attend again this year.

  • See you next year!

    July 11, 2015: My daughter was one of the youngest swimmers having just turned 9 also traveling out of state without knowing a single person came away with a wide knowledge of skills to improve her strokes, but also meeting new friends.

I am happy to see her dive straight out and not flop down when starting off the blocks. Thank you for a wonderful experience. As a mom, knowing she was in such good hands made the drive home easier. see you next year.
