    Our camper learned many skills and techniques this week. She loved meeting new friends and loved her new motto: start as a team, finish as a team
  • Season 2017
    Highlights include free time actvitied and focus on her stroke improvement. Watching her in the last day camp meet I saw noticeable improvement. This camp was very good for her technique and confidence in the pool. She will be going to more Nike swim camps!

    The Nike Swim Camp had a lot of activities and workouts that had us working hard. It helped me with a lot of my technique and my different strokes. I learned a lot about how my different strokes could have been changed to be better for a faster swim. I do recommend this camp.
