Come join us this summer 2025 at the Nike Swim Camp at Nazareth University, located in Western New York State, in Monroe County, in a charming suburb of Rochester. This camp offers competitive swimmers a challenging yet fun week of swim technique and training. Our goal is 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."
