Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, the Nike Malibu Swim Camp is hosted on the picturesque campus of Pepperdine University, just 25 miles from the Los Angeles International Airport. Our instruction takes place in the state-of-the-art Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool—an Olympic-sized facility renowned for its stunning views and world-class training environment. Pepperdine will be conducting a national coaching staff in the spring and the new camp director will be announced prior to camp.
This swim camp offers more than just elite-level stroke technique instruction; campers also participate in a range of fun activities outside of the pool, promoting teamwork, friendship, and unforgettable summer experiences. Swimmers of all skill levels can immerse themselves in a supportive atmosphere designed to foster improvement and personal growth.
The Nike Malibu Swim Camp at Pepperdine University is open to any and all entrants and limited only by number, age, and gender. For your safety and benefit, we recommend 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.

Great instruction!
July 22, 2022: Despite 15 months on a competitive team, stroke technique needed work to improve times. We were also interested in having female coaches and role models for the girls on our team, which is what grabbed my attention initially.

Great camp!
July 22, 2022: If you ask my daughter, it was making like minded new friends and being able to be in a university setting. In addition, the staff were very friendly and hospitable. I really enjoyed that it was a small group enough to allow the coaches to give constructive feedback so that the swimmers can improve. Amelia really liked Tank and his presence!
