***Navy Elite Swim Camps – DATES ARE TBA***

“Thank you so much for providing this challenging, quality swim camp, he learned a great deal about swimming and more at Navy this past week. Kudos to you and your camp staff, including the extraordinary evening speakers, who were well beyond any expectations of ours. BTW, this was his only camp of any kind so far in his life. Fortunately, we picked the right one!”

Camp Details

The Navy Swim Elite Training Camp is designed and implemented by our Navy Coaching staff to take swimmers to the next level of performance by focusing on a progressive stroke technique session, while adding an elite level pool training session to each day. The technique session will include competitive stroke progressions in all strokes, starts and turns, racing prep, and video analysis. The training component will incorporate the learned techniques with a high level energy systems based training program to prepare the swimmer for excellence in the summer season.

In addition, this camp will expose swimmers to whole person performance expectations outside the pool. Whole person performance includes daily dry land and flexibility program, as well as, sports psychology, nutrition, and leadership lectures.
