Swim Camp for Ages 7-14
Register Online (preferred) or Camp Registration

WAAC offers specialty swim camps for swimmers aged 7-14 who have mastered the basic elements of the four competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly) and are comfortable swimming 50 yard continuous sets. The camps help swimmers become stronger, more efficient, and faster. There are three specialty swim camps: Technique, Speed, and Endurance.

The Speed Specialty Swim Camp works on races and swimming faster. The camp emphasizes starts and streamlines, transitions from start to stroke, fast strokes, fast turns, and fast finishes. Swimmers will time races and parts of races to see how improvements in their races result in improved times. Swimmers will also utilize interval training and learn about pacing to improve race times on longer races.

General Information about Swim Camp
Campers will be dropped off at the gray house. It is the second drive past WAAC's parking lot. It is gravel so if you don't want to drive down it, park in the spaces to the left of WAAC's driveway and take the foot path to the gray house. Campers should come dressed in bathing suit with T-shirt, and easy to kick off shoes. They will need a towel and goggles. They should come with sun screen applied and bring sunscreen which we reapply at snack time. Please choose sunscreens made to wear in and out of water. Campers may wear UV protective swim shirts. We have a water fountain, but campers may wish to bring a water bottle. Other things they may wish to bring are caps, sun glasses, and money to buy a snack card. We serve a snack every day, for example oranges and graham crackers. Campers are welcome to bring a snack from home. Snack cards are sold for $5 and campers may purchase snacks at the Camp Snack Bar such as mini sno cones. On Fridays, towards the end of camp, parents are invited to watch a mini swim meet. There is an awards ceremony after the meet. WAAC Camps meet regardless of weather. During thunder when the pools are closed, the campers will move under tents for rainy day activities.
