Swimming Camps
Camp 1: June 21 - June 26, 2009
Camp 2: June 28 - July 02, 2009
The purpose of the UW-Whitewater Swimming Camps is to improve efficiency in the water by focusing on technique, stroke mechanics, and improving starts and turns. Camps are limited in size to offer each camper one on one time to develop skills needed to improve race performance. Each camp offers two in-water sessions to refine technique and apply it in a practical setting. A dryland session is also offered to improve strength and flexibility. The goal of the camp is to teach each athlete simple skills that they can continue to work on when they return to their home programs.
Camp Highlights
- Low swimmer to coach ratio
- Daily videotaping sessions
- Instruction from Collegiate Coaches, Athletes, and Trainers
