Swim Camp of the Week: Colorado Mesa Swim Camp

Colorado Mesa Swim Camp

GRAND JUNCTION – 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 the Colorado Mesa Swim Camp

Residential campers at the Colorado Mesa Swim Camp will be housed in the Colorado Mesa University residence halls, and meals will be provided by campus dining services in our University Center Dining Hall. Residents are responsible for bringing their own bedding, towels, toiletries and an alarm clock. Swimmers in the team camp under 13 years of age must have written parental approval to stay in the residence halls. Swimmers in the elite camp must be 13 or older. The recommendation for the elite camp is USA Swimming A times based on the swimmer’s current age.

Check-in for the four-day camps will be Monday from 8-9am, location to be announced. Checkout will be after lunch on Thursday. Bring all personal items to the pool during the last afternoon practice.
