Fantastic Experience!
I loved the camp at MSU, Mankato! I had a great time working on techniquewith the coaches and spending time with other campers and the MSU swimmers.Everyone at the school was friendly and helpful. It was a fantasticexperience!
Really improved!
My daughter had a great experience at this swim camp last year. She received individual evaluation and coaching on her stroke techniques that have definitely helped her improve. The group activities made camp a lot of fun, and she wants to go back this year!
great instructors
My daughter had such a great time!! She was so nervous before it started, but left the first day all smiles. I love that they truly seemed to take the time to work with each swimmer; great instructors.
This is a camp we will definitely be back to!
She absolutely loved this swim camp! The coaches were so helpful she said. There were just enough kids where she still had one on one time. We have been to camps where they don’t say one word to her since there are so many kids. She has never been videoed under water and that was a very cool experience for her. She loved being critiqued. She loved the coaches and made new friends. This is a camp we will definitely be back to!
Looking forward to next summer!
My daughter has been going to swim camp for the last 3 years and loves it. Not only is this a swim camp, but it also has the feel of a summer camp. They work hard on all of their strokes and get great feed back. They also do many activities, besides swimming, that keep the campers active. Thanks to Nathan, Sophie and the rest of the Maverick team for making this such a fun and learning experience. My daughter is looking forward to summer 2019!
He had a lot of fun
He had a lot of fun. The small group helped him feel at ease at his first camp. He feels like he gained skills to help him improve.
Great experience!
My kids went to this camp last summer as their first camp experience and it was great for them. The coaches were all super nice and very supportive, and gave each swimmer plenty of attention. The overall attitude and atmosphere at the camp was positive, the coaches were engaged in the activities and each swimmer was important. I was impressed to learn that the coaches actually video-recorded the swimmers doing their strokes and then reviewed the videos with the swimmers to give constructive feedback; what a great learning tool!

Loved the clinic!
July 31, 2023: Loved the clinic! Being able to focus on specific strokes for a day was great.
Loved the coaches
Amazing time!
I had an amazing time I was sad when it ended, I didn’t wanna leave my new friends. The coaches were great they were very helpful and nice. I learned a lot and I’m excited for my next season!
Really Fun!
This camp was really fun! We had lots of useful sets and drills to do during each workout, and we worked a lot on our technique by analyzing videos of top-level swimmers and comparing their strokes to our own. We campers also had fun outside of the pool, doing some group activities and just spending time together. Even the food was good!
she had a great time!
She had lots of fun meeting new people and received individual feedback from her coaches on each of her strokes. She learned about the important mental aspects of swimming, along with the physical aspects as well. Overall, she had a great time! I know that Covid has set everyone back this year and that it has been hard, but I think having an overnight camp would be very fun for her and everyone else! This year was the best the camp could have been with the Covid restrictions!
