Twice a week over the next few months, Swimming World Magazine will feature a camp specializing in teaching swimmers how to improve their technique, swim faster and have fun with some of the biggest names in swimming. Motivation is the part of every package! Programs may include day and overnight camps as well as distance and stroke specialization. This week we are featuring Army Swim Camp.

The Army Swim Camp at West Point is a one-of-a-kind experience for all swimmers. Campers will learn the skills necessary to take their swimming to the next level, in and out of the pool. Three daily swim sessions are focused on the most up-to-date technique instruction; teaching all four strokes, starts, and turns. Our professional staff will also expose athletes to “hidden training;” nutrition, goal setting, dryland training and much more. All camp sessions and a wide variety of extracurricular activities (including an open water swim at Delafield Pond) will take place on the hallowed grounds of the United States Military Academy.

Facility includes a 50-meter pool and three 25-yard pools. Ten training groups based on age and ability, with a 1:9 coach/swimmer ratio. Multiple-week stays include supervision. Experienced, mature, adult staff provides 24-hour supervision.
