Avoid the Waitlist – Secure Your Spot at Swim Camp Today!

Over the past 20 summers, the Arizona swim camp has successfully helped over 2,000 competitive swimmers improve their stroke technique.

The Arizona Nike Swim Camp is back at the Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff! Instead of training in the desert heat this summer, join us in the mountains for cooler temperatures, awesome facilities, and a taste of training at altitude (6,900 feet)! It is commonly known that training at altitude - where the oxygen level is considerably lower - allows athletes to increase their red blood cell count. This enables swimmers to compete more effectively at sea level because more oxygen is delivered to the muscles. Adaptation and results will vary.

Campers will train each day in the Wall Aquatic Center, located in the Aquatic and Tennis Complex. The center offers Northern Arizona University and the Flagstaff community one of the finest high-altitude swimming facilities in the world.

Extra Starts & Turns Clinic:
You also have the option to add the Extra Starts & Turns Clinic to make your camp experience a 6 day camp! Please note that campers enrolling in only the one-day starts and turns clinic must select the commuter option. Overnight accommodations are exclusively reserved for campers participating in the full week program. Thank you for your understanding.

The Nike Swim Camp at Northern Arizona University is open to any and all entrants. For your safety and benefit, we recommend that you have competitive swimming experience (e.g. U.S.S. age group, national qualifiers, high school swimmers, or summer league swimmers) and can swim at least 50 meters in all four competitive strokes: fly, back, breast and freestyle.

Highlights Include

Stroke technique refinement for competitive swimming
TEAM DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE!
Low camper to staff ratio
Small group and individual stroke analysis/instruction
Fun evening social activities and guest speakers
Every camper receives a Camp T-shirt and Swim Cap
Every camper is eligible to receive merit-based prizes during camp

Swim Tips by Brandy Maben:

Nike Swim Camp Tip: Control your race before you enter the pool!
Head Coach Andy Johns

Andy Johns, winner of 10 consecutive Western Athletic Conference titles, enters his 28th season as the Northern Arizona head swimming & diving coach in 2023-2024. Together with Diving Coach Nikki Kelsey, the two coaches have turned the Lumberjacks into one of the premier programs in the West, with Johns receiving coach of the year honors eight times since joining the WAC in 2005.
View Andy Johns's Bio ⟩

Throughout his tenure at the helm of the Lumberjacks, Johns has consistently produced championship caliber teams in addition to developing a program that is equally exceptional in the classroom as it is in the pool.

During the 2022-23 campaign, Johns led the Lumberjacks to victories over both Washington State and New Mexico. At the invitational level, Northern Arizona finished second at the UNLV Invitational behind only UCLA. The Lumberjacks would eventually defend their WAC championship with an 835 point performance in February. The season saw both Haley Mayhew and Casey Craffey break school records, with Mayhew breaking the NAU record in the 200 breaststroke (2:12.95) and the 200 IM (2:00.04). Craffey set a new Lumberjack records in the 1000 free (9:59.05) and broke a 29-year long record in the 500 free (4:46.38).

In the pool, the Lumberjacks have captured 62 individual and relay conference titles, 126 school records (a high of 11 set at the 2009 WAC meet), nine conference records and 49 NCAA qualifying marks under Johns' tutelage. In the classroom, his student-athletes have posted cumulative grade-point averages of 3.50 and higher in 8 of the past 10 academic semesters. The Lumberjacks are consistently among the best programs the league in placing student-athletes on the WAC All-Academic lists with 25 earning the honor last year. NAU has been recognized 16 times as an Academic All-America Team by the Collegiate Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) including last year's squad which posted a 3.66 grade point average in the spring of 2023. NAU's team GPA under Johns is the highest of any of the four major swim and dive programs in the state of Arizona.

Along with building a total program that produces student-athletes to the very definition, Johns' tenure has included several major moments for NAU swimming & diving. Johns navigated NAU from the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference to its first all-Division I affiliation in the National Independent Conference (NIC) in 1998-99, followed by the program's move to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) prior to the 2004-05 season.

Johns followed up his first WAC championship with a successful title defense during the 2014-15 season. In contrast to their third and fourth consecutive championships to follow, the Lumberjacks conquered the WAC despite winning just two individual gold medals. At the 2014 championships, senior Jordan Burnes won the 200 breaststroke and sophomore Kendall Brown in the 1650 freestyle while junior diver Chelsea Jackson and freshman Alina Staffeldt – NAU's Female Newcomer of the Year – won gold on 3-meter and in the 100 butterfly respectively in 2015.

Johns' first WAC Championship team ended the 2013-14 academic year with a flurry of scholastic accolades. NAU posted the seventh-best GPA in the nation during the Spring 2014 semester while seniors Andrea Derflinger, Emma Lowther and Stirling Smith were recipients of the prestigious NAU Gold Axe Award. Smith was also named NAU's Female Senior Student-Athlete of the Year award which marked the second straight year that the program produced the top female student-athlete at NAU following Fi Connell the year prior.

Before their current run of championships, Johns' Lumberjacks endured heartbreak with a narrow seven-point loss to San Jose State at the 2013 WAC meet. Despite falling just short of the program's first WAC Championship, freshman Ellie Morrissey was named the WAC Freshman of the Year at the conclusion of the meet with Nikki Kelsey receiving her second WAC Diving Coach of the Year award. NAU also won its first WAC medley relay title in the 400 medley relay, shattering the previous school record by nearly two seconds in the process.

While the program was reaching new heights within the conference, Johns led NAU to its first dual meet victory over Arizona State as well as fellow Pac-12 foe Washington State. The Lumberjacks also produced some of the top female student-athletes at NAU as Kristy Ardavanis (2012-13) and Rachel Palmer (2011-12) received the university's Female Athlete of the Year award. Meanwhile, Ellie Morrissey (2012-13) and Caitlin Wright (2011-12) were voted as NAU's Female Newcomers of the Year. The 'Jacks also reached a high-water ranking of a tie for sixth in the final CollegeSwimming.com 2013 Mid-Major Poll while tying for the sixth-best team GPA among all NCAA Division I women's swimming & diving programs in 2013, marking NAU's second consecutive top 10 academic GPA ranking nationally. In 2012-13, a pair of Lumberjacks received distinguished academic honors as Fi Connell was named NAU's Female Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Palmer was voted to the Capital One Academic All-District 8 Women's At-Large First Team.

The Lumberjacks earned the runner-up title among nine teams in 2008-09 and finished second among eight teams during the 2007-08 season. At the 2009 WAC Championships, the Lumberjacks earned 43 All-WAC Awards and set 11 school records. The 11 school records still remains the most ever set at a conference meet during Johns' tenure, while the 43 All-WAC honors were topped by the 2015-16 team's 53 awards.

During NAU's first three seasons as an affiliate member of the WAC, Johns helped improve the Lumberjacks' fifth-place finish in their inaugural season in 2004-05 to a pair of third-place finishes. He was named WAC Coach of the Year in NAU's rookie season and was pivotal in coaching Alexis Buckley to the 2006 NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. Buckley swam in both the 1,650 and 500 freestyle and became the first female swimmer at NAU to represent the Lumberjacks in 12 years.

Prior to joining the WAC, NAU finished second at the National Independent Conference (NIC) Championships in 2003-04 and Johns was named the NIC Women's Swimming Coach of the Year. NAU had seven individual conference champions, tying the team record for the most champions in a single conference meet. The Lumberjacks also set 10 school records, and earned two other honors in addition to Johns', as Nikki Huffman earned her fourth Diving Coach of the Year honor and then-sophomore Blair Buder was named the Female Diver of the Year.

Johns came to NAU in 1996 from Clemson, where he trained the sprinters, including one NCAA All-American. Prior to that, he spent three years as head coach at Northeast Missouri State (now Truman State). During his tenure, his teams set 45 school records and five athletes posted their first national qualifying times.

Johns is well-respected in the swimming research community, having presented at the American College of Sports Medicine national meeting twice, first about the effects of warm-up in 1991 and tapering in 1992. Johns is published in many sports medicine journals, including the International Journal of Sports Medicine and Medicine and Science in Sport in Exercise. He was awarded a research fellowship from the Institute of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina in 1990.

As a collegian at East Carolina, Johns helped his team to the Colonial Athletic Association title in 1989. Prior to ECU, he was a junior-college All-American, earning the honor eight times in two years at Broward (Fla.) Community College.

Outside of his time as a coach, Johns has performed with the Flagstaff Light Opera Company and is a member of The Flagstaff Master Chorale whom he sang with at Carnegie Hall in March 2012.

Johns received his bachelor's degree in physical education from ECU in 1989 and followed that with a master's in exercise physiology in 1991. Johns and his wife, Misha, have two daughters, Ali and Maddie, and have two grandchildren.
Assistant Coach Larry Liebowitz

Larry Liebowitz joined the Northern Arizona swimming & diving staff in August 2016 following an illustrious 13-year stint as the head coach at Oregon State. Liebowitz's pedigree and success at the collegiate and national team levels makes him one of the most recognizable names in the sport.
View Larry Liebowitz's Bio ⟩

In Liebowitz's first year in Flagstaff, the Lumberjacks captured their fourth straight Western Athletic Conference title. NAU prevailed in a tightly contested meet with 615.5 points to best New Mexico State's 551 points. Alina Staffeldt (100 and 200 butterfly) and Urte Kazakeviciute (100 and 200 breaststroke) both posted a pair of NCAA 'B' Standard times.

During his tenure at the helm of Oregon State's women's swimming team, Liebowitz led the Beavers to three of their best all-time finishes at the NCAA Championships including their highest finish ever of No. 20 in 2004. Liebowitz coached seven of Oregon State's nine all-time swimming All-Americans in addition to 47 of his student-athletes receiving Pac-12 All-Academic distinction.

Liebowitz's Oregon State career was highlighted by Saori Haruguchi's individual 200 butterfly national championship in 2008 and Birte Steven's runner-up finish in the 200 breaststroke in 2004. Haruguchi remains Oregon State's lone NCAA Champion. Both Haruguchi (Japan, 2008) and Steven (Germany, 2004) competed at the Summer Olympics while current student-athletes.

Prior to his arrival at Oregon State, Liebowitz served as the head assistant coach for both the men's and women's programs at Southern California (USC) for eight years. While at USC, the Trojan programs never finished lower than seventh at the NCAA Championships. The USC women claimed the national championship in 1997 in his second year on the staff.

His renowned resume also includes a wealth of international coaching experience. Most recently, he coached eight swimmers at the 2010 Youth Olympics and prior to that he served as the head coach of the U.S. men's team at the 2003 World University Games. His international background also includes serving as the assistant coach for the U.S. men's team at the Pan Am Games (1995, 1999) and the 1997 World University Games along with serving on the Costa Rican Olympic Team staff in 1998. Including Haruguchi and Steven, Liebowitz also previously coached Amy White and Mike O'Brien – both of whom were medalists at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Liebowitz also has experience at the club level, having coached the Santa Barbara Swim Club from 1989-95. His teams finished in the top 10 at Senior Nationals in five of his seven seasons. During this time, Liebowitz coached Brian Alderman (butterfly) and Richard Schroeder (breaststroke) to national championships. Both swimmers would go on to represent the U.S. at the Pan Am Games with Alderman also going on to make the U.S. teams at the Goodwill Games and the short course and long course World Championships.

His coaching career began with stints with the Ferndale Barracudas Swim Club and at University of Detroit High School. Liebowitz, a native of Detroit, Mich., earned his bacher's degree in Psychology from Oakland University in 1973. He competed in swimming for two years at Wayne State before transferring to Oakland. He is married to Mary Anne Gerzanick-Liebowitz.
