The Carolina Swim Camp offers two great options in order to best suit your camper’s needs.
Option 1: Technical & Training Camp
The Technical & Training Camp focuses on training swimmers energy systems for success in summer swimming as well as developing and enhancing the training and racing skills of competitive swimmers. This is a combined technique and training camp which will focus on each of the four strokes plus underwater kicking (or the 5th stroke). Each morning will focus on one of the four competitive swimming strokes with an emphasis on technique as well as a specific goal of training (or workout) for that session. Each afternoon will be broken up into 3 training groups, Sprint, Middle Distance IM, & Distance. Each group will focus on techniques and racing strategies specific for these very different events. Groups will train twice per day
Option 2: Elite Training Camp
The Elite Training Camp focuses on building and maintaining technique and training skills to help each swimmer in their careers. This is a workout style camp that will have three main training groups, one for distance oriented swimmers, one for middle distance stroke/IM swimmers, and one for sprinters. Each camper is grouped with campers of similar age and ability. Each group will receive instruction and practice skills appropriate for that ability. We do our best to have a 10:1 camper to coach ratio, with highly energetic coaches from the UNC Staff and great coaches from around the United States. Elite camp is intended for elite swimmers who have at least 2-3 USA Swimming AAA times.
