SWIM FOR LIFE CAMP
Swim for Life camp is a specialty camp that is dedicated to teaching kids how to swim and or improving/stroke refinement for kids who already know how to swim as well as teaching basic water safety skills. We are working on cultivating our next generation of lifeguards!
PROGRAMS OFFERED
There are two types of programs that will be offered: instructional and competitive.
The instructional group is for any child who does not know how to swim or needs to improve their skill. There will be structured and progressive lessons throughout the weeks of camp. This section will not only teach the kids how to swim, but also how to recognize, avoid, and survive dangerous situations in and around water.
The competitive group is for children who already know how to swim and can demonstrate at least two different swim strokes. Competitive program swimmers will work on refining their stroke mechanics, improve their endurance, and receive educational information on water safety.
*ALL swimmers will receive a screening on the first day of camp and will be placed into each group accordingly.*
SWIM CAMP INFORMATION
The kids will be swimming from 9am-12pm each day for instruction/lessons. In the afternoon we will eat lunch and do regular camp activities - games, outdoor play, arts & crafts, etc. We will also be going on 1 trip per week! We provide breakfast and lunch daily. Due to the instructional structure of this camp, campers must attend a minimum of 3 weeks. There is a limited capacity due instructional needs/pool space. Registration will be on a first come first serve basis. If capacity limits increase we will add people from the waiting list.
