USA Swimming today announced the names of the 112 athletes selected for the 2024 Zone Select Camps. To optimize opportunities for athletes in an Olympic year, the two camps will each select athletes from two zones. One camp will host athletes from the Western and Central Zones (May 30-June2) while the second camp will include the Eastern and Southern Zones (June 6-9). This year, athletes come from 86 different clubs and 37 Local Swimming Committees (LSCs). Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for a complete roster of camp participants, including staff members.<\/p>\n

Each camp will consist of 28 female (aged 12-13) and 28 male (aged 13-14) swimmers from the qualifying period. Athletes were selected automatically from USA Swimming\u2019s SWIMS times database in each age group and gender per Olympic event.

\u201cWe are excited to work with all four Zones to provide a unique experience for athletes around the country,\u201d USA Swimming Senior Director of Team Services, Coach, and Athlete Development Mariejo Truex<\/strong> said. \u201cCamps like this help provide opportunities for the next generation of athletes, shaping their experiences as they progress in their swimming careers and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the three-day camps, athletes will participate in four in-water workouts and several classroom sessions covering various topics.<\/p>\n

This year, Potomac Valley Swimming and Southern California Swimming are sending the highest number of athletes to their respective camps.\u00a0Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club<\/a>,\u00a0Rockville Montgomery Swim Club<\/a>, and\u00a0SwimMAC Carolina<\/a>\u00a0rank the highest amongst individual clubs, sending a total of four athletes each.<\/p>\n

Expanded from last year, USA Swimming will offer a home coach track for athlete coaches at the Zone Select Camps. Eligible coaches can accompany their athlete(s) to the camp and take advantage of a separate track consisting of educational opportunities, connections with USA Swimming staff, and networking with other coaches from across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe home coach track will provide a special opportunity for coaches to learn, connect, and network with others across USA Swimming,\u201d Truex continued. \u201cTo provide even more opportunities for coaches across the country, we will offer limited openings for a coach clinic at each location. This two-day clinic will accompany the home coach track to allow coaches to interact with one another and learn in an interactive clinic format.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clinic will cost $100 per individual coach, or $200 for a team of up to four. Each additional coach beyond a group of four will cost $50. Learn more about the coach clinic\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
