Reviews & Testimonials

  • Highly recommend!

    July 17, 2017: My daughter was one of the younger campers being only 8 at the time, however she came home with smiles, and was so excited to show us what she learned at camp, and what adjustments she made to her strokes to help her swim better. Overall I think camp definitely helped, her first meet after camp she dropped 10 seconds of her 200 Free and 2 on her 100 free and she final hit her LSC Niagara Cut times for Long Course! Overall I would highly recommend this camp to other swim parents who are looking for ways to help their child improve.

  • He loved every minute of it

    July 17, 2021: He loved every minute of it. It was a great experience and he has gone three years to this camp. Each time he learns new ways of improving his stroke and his nutrition.

  • Great experience!

    July 17, 2017: Overall it was a great experience for my daughter and she enjoyed the camp and learned a lot. The nutrition part was very eye opening for her as we have told her she needs to eat more and drink more as she gets headaches. It was awesome to see the underwater video of her swimming as well.

  • this was the best camp she has ever attended!

    July 20, 2019: It was a wonderful experience for my daughter. She learned new things, had fundamental items reinforced, and loved and respected her coaches. Most importantly she had fun and made many new friends. I was very impressed that the coaches sat and talked with them about swimming at the college level. We are very appreciative that the coaches treated them like young athletes and took the time to help them think about the future. All in all, this was the best camp she has ever attended!

  • left camp enthused and more confident

    July 22, 2021: My son was able to meet similar-skill level, same-age peers from all over the country and bond with them. He received excellent stroke coaching in a supportive environment and great teaching on nutrition for athletes.
