  • I have been coming to swim camp at IBM with coach Gerry for several years now and I look forward to it all year. The coaches make it fun while really adjusting your technique with drill work to get your muscle memory involved. I see improvements every year.
  • Our son looks forward to this camp each year. Each year he gathers another friend or two from his home swim team to go along just by him telling everyone what a great time he has. We travel three hours each way for him to attend because he has such a great time and the coaches are so amazing with him. It is a wonderful experience for him each summer.
  • Different coaching was greatly needed for a swimmer that has been with the same coach for many years. Thank you for the great opportunity to gain skills and improve on old ones!
  • Overall it was a great experience. The small problem we had with our daughter's age group was immediately handled and taken care of with professionalism - it is clear that Gerry and the staff want their campers to have a great experience!
  • Our son loved staying in the dorms, making new swim friends, and clear teaching of technique. He loved this camp and will return for sure! Thanks to the camp director Coach Cournoyer!
  • I enjoyed the swim camp a lot. It was my first experience in a swim camp and I want to repeat it soon. My parents think it was worth the experience and worth the time spent on this activity. We are already making plans to attend this camp next year.
  • A highlight of camp was playing games outside, starts and turns sessions, making friends, and doing drills in the water. Camp was so much fun!
  • This was the first time my daughter has stayed overnight somewhere for more than one night without my or my husband, and was only willing to stay overnight because her two friends were attending the camp as well. The two other girls' moms and I are very appreciative that the girls were allowed to share a dorm room. Otherwise, they would have not stayed over. So, thank you! My daughter raved about the food and loved how much swimming there was and said her skills definitely improved. She also loved free time, going to the UVM bookstore, and playing games with the counselors. I asked them if they wanted to attend next summer and they all said, YES! So it looks like they'll be back in 2018! Thank you again for a GREAT first overnight camp experience for my daughter. I'm so appreciative.
  • It was a great experience. Unlike most camps they improved my technique, and weren't as focused on speed. They did something that can help me for my whole swimming career, not just one weeks workout.
  • This was my son's first year and he couldn't believe how much he learned and how much he improved in such a short time. I think concentrating on skill refinement, rather than only building endurance was important.
  • My son loved camp this year. He said that the coaches did a fantastic job of pinpointing stroke improvements, and he was able to ask for clarification in order to ensure he was understanding things. He also made some great friends, and left camp talking about coming back again next year!
  • The camp provided my daughter many tools that she can use towards her training, in and out of the pool. She loved how the coaches also taught them about the mental aspect of competitive swimming. The individualized stroke technique/starts/turns instruction was excellent. She enjoyed all of the smiling coaches and positive energy they brought to the camp sessions each day. She absolutely loved the town of Burlington and the campus/facilities at UVM. She also connected with new friends from other states.
  • I was extremely impressed with the Nike Swim Camp at the University of Vermont. I have been to other camps in the past and nothing compares to this camp. I will definitely come back next year.

Christa Weaver and Ilsa Feierabend collected All-Conference honors at the championships.

    In 2012-13, Cournoyer led the Catamounts to a 9-5 record and a third place finish at the conference championships, which tied their best in program history. Christa Weaver was named Most Outstanding Rookie at the meet, becoming just the second Catamount to win the award in the program's history. Chelsea Krisanda and Kailey Gardner also earned All-Conference honors at the championships.

    Vermont finished with an 8-4 record in 2011-12 and earned a fourth place finish at the America East Championships. During the season, sophomore Claudia Etherington posted one of the top-10 fastest times in the 200 backstroke in the nation.
    During the 2010-11 season, the Cats went 9-6 and posted their sixth straight season of nine wins or more. The Catamounts also ended the season receiving votes in the final CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Dual Meet Poll.

    The Cats went 10-6 in 2009-10 as senior Molly MacMillan earned her third straight America East Championship in the 1,650 freestyle, while classmate Colleen Clark won the America East Coaches Award, which goes to the senior student-athlete each year who tallied the most points at the conference championship during their four years. MacMillan was second in the standings, only eight points behind her classmate.

    Vermont went 9-4-1 in 2008-09 as the Catamounts had their best finish in school history at the America East Championship, with three individual champions and one relay championship, as well as breaking nearly every school record.

    During his time at Vermont, Cournoyer has also coached a handful of athletes who have made their mark on the school’s record books. The Cats have broken all 21 varsity marks and reestablished three conference records at the league championship in the last five years.

    Cournoyer took over the swimming program in 2000 and inherited a team that had only three combined wins in the five years prior to his arrival. He's been able to build up a winning tradition at UVM, and since 2003-04, he's led the Catamounts to at least seven wins in each season. Cournoyer is the only coach in program history to reach the 100-win plateau with the Catamounts.

    A 1990 graduate of Norwich University, Cournoyer has made a name for himself in collegiate swimming as one of the top coaches in the East. Cournoyer came to UVM in the 2000 after serving as head coach of swimming & diving at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for four years. His combined record at Lycoming was 71-42.

    In his first year at Lycoming, Cournoyer was named MAC Women's Swimming and Diving Coach of the Year after directing the Warriors to a school-record 13 wins in 14 dual meets as well as the program's first-ever conference title.

    Prior to his stint at Lycoming, Cournoyer was head coach of men's and women's swimming and diving at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts for two years. He led the Bridgewater men's team to an 11-0 record in his final season and an 11th-place finish in the 26-team New England Championships. His combined record at Bridgewater State was 33-14.

    Cournoyer's final season at Bridgewater was highlighted by the women's team finishing 9-5 to post its first winning record in eight years. Prior to coming to Vermont, Cournoyer posted a combined record of 104-56 in his five seasons as a head coach.

    A native of Cumberland, Rhode Island, Cournoyer was a letter winner in swimming at Norwich. He was selected to the Rhode Island Aquatic Hall of Fame Class of 2006 and earned his Masters in Education from UVM in 2009.

  • My 11 year daughter had a great experience at The Nike Swim Camp. This was her first sleep away camp experience, and it was fun, safe and she learned a great deal. We would highly recommend these camps. She will likely return next year.
  • My daughter found the camp to be a tremendous help. She is fairly new to the sport, yet takes a very analytical approach to her training. The feedback from all the coaches was superb.

  • This was the first time my daughter has stayed overnight somewhere for more than one night without my or my husband, and was only willing to stay overnight because her two friends were attending the camp as well. The two other girls' moms and I are very appreciative that the girls were allowed to share a dorm room. Otherwise, they would have not stayed over. So, thank you! My daughter raved about the food and loved how much swimming there was and said her skills definitely improved. She also loved free time, going to the UVM bookstore, and playing games with the counselors. I asked them if they wanted to attend next summer and they all said, YES! So it looks like they'll be back in 2018! Thank you again for a GREAT first overnight camp experience for my daughter. I'm so appreciative.
  • It was a great experience. Unlike most camps they improved my technique, and weren't as focused on speed. They did something that can help me for my whole swimming career, not just one weeks workout.
  • This was my son's first year and he couldn't believe how much he learned and how much he improved in such a short time. I think concentrating on skill refinement, rather than only building endurance was important.
  • My son loved camp this year. He said that the coaches did a fantastic job of pinpointing stroke improvements, and he was able to ask for clarification in order to ensure he was understanding things. He also made some great friends, and left camp talking about coming back again next year!
  • The camp provided my daughter many tools that she can use towards her training, in and out of the pool. She loved how the coaches also taught them about the mental aspect of competitive swimming. The individualized stroke technique/starts/turns instruction was excellent. She enjoyed all of the smiling coaches and positive energy they brought to the camp sessions each day. She absolutely loved the town of Burlington and the campus/facilities at UVM. She also connected with new friends from other states.
  • I was extremely impressed with the Nike Swim Camp at the University of Vermont. I have been to other camps in the past and nothing compares to this camp. I will definitely come back next year.
  • Thank you very much for the experience! I enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was incredible, they were very nice and had so much passion for swim. I made new friends and I will definitely come back next summer!
  • My son appreciated getting personalized written feedback from counselors about each of his strokes. The counselors were very friendly and encouraging, they even fave my son was getting high fives as he was leaving the camp. My son enjoyed the organized games every night from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.

  • This was the first time my daughter has stayed overnight somewhere for more than one night without my or my husband, and was only willing to stay overnight because her two friends were attending the camp as well. The two other girls' moms and I are very appreciative that the girls were allowed to share a dorm room. Otherwise, they would have not stayed over. So, thank you! My daughter raved about the food and loved how much swimming there was and said her skills definitely improved. She also loved free time, going to the UVM bookstore, and playing games with the counselors. I asked them if they wanted to attend next summer and they all said, YES! So it looks like they'll be back in 2018! Thank you again for a GREAT first overnight camp experience for my daughter. I'm so appreciative.
  • A highlight of camp was playing games outside, starts and turns sessions, making friends, and doing drills in the water. Camp was so much fun!

  • Our son loved staying in the dorms, making new swim friends, and clear teaching of technique. He loved this camp and will return for sure! Thanks to the camp director Coach Cournoyer!
  • Our son looks forward to this camp each year. Each year he gathers another friend or two from his home swim team to go along just by him telling everyone what a great time he has. We travel three hours each way for him to attend because he has such a great time and the coaches are so amazing with him. It is a wonderful experience for him each summer.
  • I have been coming to swim camp at IBM with coach Gerry for several years now and I look forward to it all year. The coaches make it fun while really adjusting your technique with drill work to get your muscle memory involved. I see improvements every year.
  • Our daughter was terribly homesick the first few days but the counselors helped her succeed and spend every night by camp. Thank you for being so kind to her and making her feel as welcomed! She came home more confident and with great new friends!
