WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Swim Camp at Carnegie Mellon University
20 Reviews
My son loved this camp. He is 9 and never has done a 200 IM before and by the end of the week he asked if he could do it at the mini meet. He wanted to challenge himself. Brings kids out of their comfort zone! I can't say enough good things about this camp!
This is my son's second year of camp and he loves it. He develops more each year and I think this camp provides him the feedback he needs to make improvements on his strokes.
From the quality of swim instruction, to all the fun extra activities, my son loved everything about this camp! He said the counselors were outstanding, the facilities were nice and the food was great!
The check in went very smoothly and it was clear that everything was well organized. I spoke to my daughter the first night, and she already asked me about returning next summer! Things went on the up from there as she stated that the training and overall program was excellent. My daughter felt that she improved in several areas, despite being exhausted at the end of the session from all the hard work she put in. The coaching staff was serious yet fun, and dedicated to the sport. We will definitely consider Nike Swim Camps in the future. Thanks to the whole team for a great experience.
