Navy Swim Camp

Expect direct results by being part of the 2017 Navy Swim Camp this summer!  The principal goal is to provide every athlete the very best in individual instruction, evaluation, camper experience, and safety/supervision.  The purpose of the Navy Swim Camp is to offer you a unique environment to learn and develop the competitive strokes including all related starts, turns and finishes.

The Navy Swim Camp is a stroke-intensive camp. Swimming campers will receive individual attention.  Additional training sessions are offered to all needing to maintain conditioning while at camp.  Video analysis, dry land activities designed to improve individual fitness levels, performance, training, goal-setting, leadership presentations and the Severn River boat cruise are all part of the schedule for 2017.

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

To offer a safe and secure environment for your sons and daughters.  To provide excellent instruction and training with an emphasis in technique and skill.  To provide each swimmer a fun, exciting and enthusiastic environment to come to camp.

The summer aquatic programs at Navy are designed for competitive swimmers with a minimum of one season of experience in the sport.  At this time, we do not offer a learn to swim program.

Campers will learn, train and reside in an amazing and unique environment on the grounds of the United States Naval Academy.  The Navy Swim Camp is led by an experienced camp staff while providing the very best in 24 hour supervision.
