WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Swim Camp at Fairfield University
22 Reviews
Wonderfully fun & challenging. The coaches were amazing & knowledgeable. My daughter had an absolute blast and learned so much from just 4 days. We can't thank the coachs & camp enough!
The highlights of camp were staying overnight, making new friends, and learning new techniques. Dryland games were fun too. Already noticeable improvement in stroke technique and speed! Thank you for a memorable experience.
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.
Highlights include free time actvitied and focus on her stroke improvement. Watching her in the last day camp meet I saw noticeable improvement. This cmap was very good for her technique and confidence in the pool. She will be going to more Nike swim camps!
This is my son's 3rd year @ the Nike Swim Camp.. He LOVES it. It’s like a family @ Fairfield University! The camp overall is well planned with things to do, great staff, and amazing stories! As team captain of his high school swim team he is making all efforts to have his team partake in the wonderful experience he has had at the Nike camp and encourage them to join in on the fun! Thank you to everyone through the years that made my son more amazing at swim and of being part of a priceless experience and friends for a lifetime!!
Nike swim camp was an extremely fun and effective way for my son to perfect his technique, while also growing his love for the sport. He met many fellow swimmers from across the state, and remains friends with them now.
My son and daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Nike Swim Camp at Fairfield. I was very impressed with the personalities and expertise of the camp staff. They were a great influence on my children and provided a fun, positive learning experience.
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
My daughter had an amazing time. She informed me that she's definitely going back next year! Thank you so much!
My daughter was very impressed with the coaching staff and how they took a personal interest in each swimmer. We will definitely be back next year!
Each one of my son's strokes improved dramatically in a very short time. He also had a great time and could see his hard work payoff almost immediately!
At first my son was concerned there would be too much swimming. Once he got there, he found that the coaches and overall staff made the days go quickly and he had a great experience. He enjoyed training with a variety of ages and I think swimming with the older kids camp him a chance to push himself. He will go again next year, maybe even as an overnighter. it was a great experience for him.
The small group instruction is the best way to learn. It is fun being with other campers and coaches who are able to work with us one-on-one when needed. Awesome camp!!
My 10 year old daughter loved the Nike Swim Camp! Her new friends made it fun and enjoyable while working on her swim strokes. It was her first time attending this camp and she already wants to return next year for two weeks and the sleepover!
I loved every second of this camp! I learned so many tips to help all of my strokes. I can’t wait to use what I learned in my upcoming swim season in the fall. I also can’t wait to go back next year!
My son had fun, learned some new techniques. He enjoyed the interaction with his coaches and wishes camp didn’t have to come to an end. The one thing he truly missed this year was the sleepover experience and it seems like he didn’t have many other kids at a similar experience level. Overall he loved it and will be back again next year.
My son had a great time, with take always each day. Although butterfly isn’t his preferred stroke he felt he made great improvements. Enjoyed watching the time trials at the end.. wish the time boards were working because of course he couldn’t remember his times! He looked great though and had fun. Wish there was another session! Thanks for a great 4 days!
This was my daughter's first experience at a sleep-away camp and she had a wonderful time. She met new friends and said it was the most intense work-out she's ever had. The drills were broken down step-by-step which enabled her to grasp it more quickly and apply the techniques. The coaches were very encouraging and gave real-time feedback. It was just the right level of direction for her. She met a really nice group of girls -- which elevated the experience for her. It gave her a real sense of independence. I hope they run this program next year (same dates and location) as I would definitely send her back.
I was very impressed with the knowledge and expertise of the swim counselors. They were a great influence on my daughter.
My daughter loved the technical work on strokes. There was a nice balance of work and fun and although she went with some swim team friends, she came home with some new friends as well! It will be fun for her to see them at club meets in the future.
My son seemed to enjoy the whole camp. He enjoyed hanging out the boys (even though a small portion of the campers were male). He liked dry land even though he said it was harder than he typical does.
This was our first Nike Camp and my daughter was very pleased with her experience. The training was just enough, not too overwhelming and more importantly the campers were nice, friendly and inviting. My only criticism would be we wanted the program to be longer.
