IMPROVE YOUR GAME AND HAVE SERIOUS FUN AT NIKE SWIM CAMPS!

This session has concluded for the season. Find out more about our summer camp option here.

Welcome to the Nike Winter Swim Clinic at Southern Methodist University (SMU)! USSC proudly collaborates with Coach Greg Rhodenbaugh and his team to present one of the nation's premier swim camps in 2024. The camp staff comprises coaches with experience training Olympic Gold Medalists or being mentored by them.

This camp offers a unique opportunity for campers to acquire elite skills directly from individuals who have showcased them on the global stage. All campers who participated in the SMU swim camp observed improvements in their times within a span of two months. Coach Rhodenbaugh places a high priority on ensuring that the journey toward improvement is enjoyable for campers because, as the saying goes, a happy swimmer is a fast swimmer!

Situated in the beautiful University Park neighborhood of Dallas, SMU provides a picturesque setting with tree-lined streets and elegant homes. The campus, adorned with historic buildings and green spaces, offers an unparalleled collegiate experience in one of the nation's most dynamic urban environments.

The Nike Swim Camp at SMU is open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender).

This camp is recommended for individuals with 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
  • Stroke technique refinement for competitive swimmers
  • Low camper to staff ratio
  • Small group and individual stroke analysis/instruction
  • Every camper receives a Nike Camp T-shirt and Nike Swim Cap
  • Every camper is eligible to receive merit-based prizes during camp

SMU Pool

Robson and Lindley Aquatic Center

The Robson & Lindley Aquatics Center and Barr-McMillion Natatorium is the 42,000 square foot home to SMU's internationally-recognized men's and women's swimming and diving teams.

The Aquatics Center features an Olympic-sized, eight-lane indoor pool with a platform diving area, including four springboards and a 10-meter tower for training and competition. Coaches' offices, men's, women's and visitor locker rooms and a classroom and meeting area are located adjacent to the pool. Spectator seating for 800 is on the mezzanine level.

To further cement this facility as one of the finest in college athletics, SMU is building an adjacent outdoor pool to further enhance this space. Project design includes an eight-lane, 50-meter by 25-yard outdoor pool, 1- and 3-meter diving boards and a 20-foot by 40-foot instructional pool that will be used for lessons and rehab/therapy. With the addition of the outdoor pool to the Robson & Lindley Aquatic Center, SMU will be the only University in the country with both an indoor and outdoor, 8-lane, 50-meter pool in one facility.
