Your Swim Camp Experience Awaits – Sign Up Today!
Come join us this summer at the Rutgers Swim Camp at the sprawling Rutgers University campus in Piscataway, NJ. This camp is designed to help competitive swimmers improve their stroke technique so they can compete at the next level. Our goal at the Rutgers Swim Camp has always been to engage and inspire each swimmer at camp and instill positive character traits such as confidence, self-motivation, and a passion for the sport.
The Rutgers Swim Camp is open to any and all entrants and limited only by number, age and gender. For the safety and benefit, we recommend all participants have competitive swimming experience (e.g., U.S.S. Age Group, National Qualifiers, High School Swimmers or Summer League Swimmers) with all four competitive strokes: Fly, Back, Breast, and Freestyle. Participants should also have experience diving into the water and have experience with starts and turns. Additionally, participants need to be able to complete a continuous 200 yard swim.
Due to high demand and limited spaces, prices are subject to increase as a camp session exceeds 25%/50%/75% capacity.
Highlights Include
- TEAM DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE
- For competitive swimmers ages 9-17. This is not a learn-to-swim program
- Emphasis on training and stroke technique refinement
- Small group and individual stroke analysis/instruction
- Every camper receives a Rutgers T-shirt and Swim Cap
