Technique & Training Camp--(Overnight, Commuter, Half-Day)
Ages 8-18. This camp focus on the essential as well as cutting edge skills related to stroke techniques, but also the art of "winning the practice" mindset. Each camper will be placed in a training group according to age, ability, and competitive background. This camp is designed for competitive swimmers who can swim all four competitive strokes. Higher level swimmers will be placed into a higher demanding training group and will provide great aerobic training for the summer season.
