West Austin Athletic Club

WAAC offers many exciting programs for having fun this summer. Join our swim team or try tennis or have a blast in WAAC's camps.

Shark Camps
(Ages 9-14)

Shark Camp offers a fun week in the water, improving strokes, playing games, and learning about the sport of swimming! Campers work on the four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, and butterfly. They improve races by improving their stroke technique and practicing starts and finishes. Because this is camp many stroke drills are taught with games and with a huge emphasis on FUN! This camp is designed for older elementary school and middle school swimmers. To participate in this camp, campers must be at least 9 years old and be able to swim across the pool unassisted in any manner without stopping. Swimmers not yet ready for this should check out WAAC's Guppy Camps or Swim Lessons. Campers will have two instructional periods during camp lasting about 40 minutes each, a provided snack each day with a short break, and free swim time in WAAC's pools with time each week with the slide and diving boards. The week ends with a mini swim meet where campers can show off their improved swimming.

General Information about Shark 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.
