Portland State University, located in the heart of downtown Portland, provides an ideal urban setting for a Nike Swim Camp. Campers train daily at PSU’s state-of-the-art aquatic facilities, featuring an indoor 25-yard, 6-lane pool. This Stroke Technique Camp gives campers the opportunity to refine their competitive strokes in a fun, uplifting environment.

Head Swim Coach, Caitlin DeNise, and her staff are committed to helping competitive swimmers improve their stroke technique and to bring out the very best in every swimmer we coach.

This camp is open to any and all entrants. 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.

Highlights Include

  • TEAM DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE
  • Stroke technique refinement for competitive swimming
  • Low camper to staff ratio
  • Small group and individual stroke analysis/instruction

    Camp Director

    Paula is excited to be the Director of this year's camp. Her focus will be on developing stroke technique, speed, endurance and to share her passion and love for the sport.

    Paula swam competitively for 14 years. Aside from the United States, she has competed in Spain, France, and Canada in which she participated in pool, lifesaving, beach, and open water competitions.

    Her senior year she captained the Crescent Valley High School team, and swam for the Corvallis Aquatic team. Her hard work was rewarded with a swimming scholarship to compete at the University of Northern Colorado (Division 1).

    Again in her senior year of college she was nominated to be the team captain. Paula's mental toughness and grit lead her to specialize in the more grueling distance events such as the 200, 500 (400 m) ,1000 (800m) and the 1650 (1500m). She also competed in the 400 individual medley.

    Due to her rigorous training regimen she won the Stan Benson Bear Award that is given to the athlete who displays championship and leadership qualities both in and out of the pool.
