  • Season 2017
    Many thanks to Coach Nick and his staff for an amazing week in Seattle! My daughter is focused, and has planned how she will incorporate what she learned from all of you as she prepares for college swimming. It was so great to see her smiling again from the pool. Hopefully her confidence will continue to grow. I know she's looking forward to updating you on her progress. Thank you again!
  • Season 2016
    Coach, thanks for the amazing opportunity to improve and make changes to my stroke. You have helped me tremendously in pointing out my mistakes but also pointing out my strengths. Thanks again to you and the PEAK coaches for all the help and confidence that you have given me.
  • Season 2016
    My daughter had a wonderful experience at PEAK Summer Camp. This year’s experience will go a long way in her preparing for this season. There was never a dull moment in 5 days. Not a minute wasted. And she truly enjoyed meeting and swimming with swimmers of her age group. The private session and the video analysis are invaluable and a great investment. My daughter can’t wait to get back to the pool to practice what she learned. She appreciates the mental and physical conditioning that went with the camp. It was truly a holistic approach that Coach Nick and the team took to teach the kids. Thank you, Coach Nick and Staff, for your continued dedication to these kids. The techniques and approach that you use not only helps the kids in their sport, but will help them in life as well.
  • Season 2015
    Our family has had two kids at camps, of varied skill levels, in multiple years. PEAK does an excellent job of tailoring the instruction to the skill level and experience of the individual swimmers. I am amazed at Coach Nick and the staff's ability to remember swimmers (and their strengths and challenges) from year to year. Recommend without equivocation!!

  • Season 2015
    Thank you for coaching me and helping me with all my strokes. I had an amazing time in your camp. I just came back from Junior Olympics and I got a medal in every single race. I got a 34.59 in my 50 FL because you helped me with my technique. I also got a first place in my 50 BR and 100 BR because of you. I still wear my Swim Positive bracelet and look forward to training with you again.
  • Season 2015
    Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful time at your camp. Max was so happy when he returned home and has since improved in all of his times. He recently dropped 16 seconds in his 400 IM. It was a great pleasure to watch you and your staff in action.

  • Start, Stroke, and Turn Camp: For competitive swimmers ages 8-18. Our 2-day Start, Stroke, and Turn Camp dedicates equal time to train fast starts, quick turns, and efficient strokes. It’s the complete package over one weekend!

Powerful starts and turns are crucial links in competitive racing that can cut vital seconds, and PEAK knows best how to boost your performance! As part of the stroke training, we utilize key elite techniques common to Olympians. Learn from the PEAK pros and get the winning edge!

Our Start training covers the front and back competitive starts, and improves reaction time, explosive power, and distance off the block. Our Turn progressions teach swimmers how to setup the turn, accelerate on the wall, and travel further off the wall. Our Stroke training focuses on body position, pulling, kicking, breathing and timing, as well as MDPS (Maximum Distance Per Stroke) and MSR (Maximum Stroke Rate).

Created by Olympic Coach Nick Baker, the camp’s curriculum is second to none. Coach Baker has authored ten books on swimming and produced four swimming videos. The camp offers many unique features and is highly recommended for competitive swimmers ages 8-18.

Note: This is NOT a learn-to-swim program, but specifically designed for competitive swimmers who can perform multiple lengths of all four strokes and the official starts and turns. Swimmers are assigned to lanes based on ability level. The daily skill progressions and challenging swim sets are adjusted to reflect skill and performance levels.
