Nike Swim Camp at Hillsdale College

Great lessons on Positive Mindsets!

July 13, 2017: My son loved the swim technique improvements and instruction. Food. Flag football. The program offered a lot of important takeaways besides the focus on swim. There was the lesson on positive mindsets that was relevant to excelling as an athlete and as a person.

So much fun!

July 30, 2015: The Nike swim camp was so much fun for both my kids. The first thing my daughter said when I picked her up from camp was I want to come back next year. They both had fun hanging out with friends old and new.

I look forward to next year!

July 26, 2019: I enjoyed the Team Olympic events. I was able to improve my backstroke start and my butterfly kicks. This was my 4th year at the camp and I look forward to next year!

Truly amazing!

July 28, 2015: The camp was great. I really improved in my strokes. I am now able to use more techniques while swimming. I learned a lot while having fun. The camp was truly amazing.

Great experience!

July 26, 2015: It was a very fun experience, and I made lots of new friends. I got a lot of instruction on my strokes and my turns, and all four of my strokes showed great improvement.

she learned so much

July 22, 2021: She loved the sessions, she learned so much on technique. Met some great friends, she wants to come back next year. She especially said the Mindset sessions was a game changer for her. As a 15 yr old HS swimmer it blew her mind what she took away from those sessions.

Wonderful instruction on techniques.

August 8, 2014: My son and daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Nike Swim Camp at Hillsdale College. 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.

Thanks for a great week.

July 22, 2021: My daughter had a great time. She loved the detail focused on stroke technique and improvement. She also thought the food was great. My only complaint was that check-in was quite disorganized... I personally had questions in my head as to how the rest of the week would be run after seeing the check in process. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised as my daughter reported the rest of the week was great and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for a great week.

Awesome!!

July 16, 2017: My daughter had went to the Purdue camp in the past and said this camp was so awesome. She liked getting to meet friends outside the pool activities.

Great time!

July 14, 2017: My son just started swimming in the last month and was a bit hesitant at first; he immediately felt welcome and had a great time; he went out of his way to say how much time he spent with coaches and addressing his fear of the starting block on day one...he admits he even likes diving in now.

Had a blast!

August 8, 2015: Our daughter had a blast, she asked to go next year when we picked her up. She received a lot of good advice and still reads over the suggestions before she swims.

Significant Improvement

July 17, 2014: It was an awesome camp! I improved my swimming significantly and had fun at the same time. I will definitely be returning next year.

I'll be back!

Thank you!

July 30, 2015: Thank you for everything!!! Loved Coach Kirt and his inspirational talks and his wonderful staff!! My son is such a new swimmer and LOVED the camp.

Really inspiring for him and his friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Had a Blast!

July 23, 2019: This was my daughter’s first swim camp and she had a blast. She met new kids and was so excited that you were able to help her with some technique issues she had, especially her breast stroke.

So much fun!

Wonderful experience!

July 27, 2017: As a parent, mu daughter camp back from camp willing to make the changes suggested. She grew stronger as a swimmer and a teammate. This was a wonderful experience for her and her swimming career.

July 14, 2017: My son came to the camp having swam for many years. He walked away with knowledge of things coaches had never talked to him about before. He also came home with new confidence that he felt he was going to take seconds off his times with the new skills he has learned. He made new friends (my child is really shy). I also LOVED that they made goals and talked about being a good team member and having an open mind. Excellent experience!

July 26, 2019: My Daughter loved everything about camp! Encouraging counselors really helped her understand the curriculum and to try her hardest. She said the rooms were comfortable and the food was great!
