The camp emphasizes proper technique through drills and a multitude of instructional feedback, eventually becoming a natural part of each swimmer\u2019s stroke \u201cDNA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rising Tide camps offer advanced technology regarding underwater filming and stroke video analysis to optimize race performance and give world class instruction regarding starts, turns and stroke development. However, the staff also recognizes that the most powerful \u201ccomputer\u201d is the human brain, and proper coding not only includes technique but also the following: mental preparation, team and character building, motivational speaking, race-day preparation, training and conditioning. Critical thinking is imperative to improvement, and the staff encourages exploring new ways to achieve skills.<\/p>\n<p>The camp has plenty of space and time to accommodate athletes of all levels and will group them accordingly. They cover every stroke discipline and all skills used by our SEC and NCAA Champions to compete at a higher level. In addition, the camp provides workouts for elite athletes to maintain fitness levels while away from their club.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"301470\"

It helped me with my strokes, turns, and starts. The outdoor games were a lot of fun! I liked that we had the opportunity to have a harder practice early in the morning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEverything in this camp showed and taught me more about team work and attitude. I\u2019ve learned to not feel sorry for myself and to push myself the extra mile. I wish this camp lasted longer than a week.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat I loved about this camp was that I improved 3x or more in my swimming. I\u2019ve only been swimming for 6-months and this camp has been the single most constructive experience so far. I obtained a new favorite stroke, improved my worse strokes, and learned things I didn\u2019t know before arriving such as open turns and spinal alignment. Thank you for holding this camp to help swimmers improve. You\u2019ve done a fantastic job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTeam activities, dorms, pool sessions, food, coachers and councillors, games (really fun), definitely should do camp again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI really enjoyed the pool sessions and the motivational presentations. I feel like I learned a lot of new things that will help me with my swimming mentally and physically. I believe that I have learned many things to help me improve my technique. Also, I believe I learned a lot about confidence and being tough.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI miss camp and everyone that was a part of it already!\u00a0 I just wanted to let you know that I had a home meet yesterday (SCY).\u00a0 I went around my best times in everything and won 4\/5 of my races which won me high point!\u00a0 I went a 1:06 in my 100 BR and a 54.05 in my 100 FR.\u00a0 I know it had a lot to do with the camp and I wanted to say thank you!\u00a0 I hope to drop more and see y\u2019all soon!\u00a0 Tell everyone else I said thank you too, please!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI really enjoyed the camp. Everyone was so nice and helped out a lot. I wish I could spend another week with everyone I\u2019ve learned a lot that will hopefully help me out. Thank you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBefore our sessions I really enjoyed the technique sessions. They helped me learn the techniques and gave me a visual and idea about what we needed to do. During the sessions I enjoyed actually doing the techniques and learning things that I haven\u2019t before. I loved all the coaches helping and giving advice.
