Reach your peak for the 2018 Summer Swimming Championship Season! Summer swimmers work hard for 3.5 months to work on crucial swimming skills and get themselves into optimal race shape. This camp takes place at an optimal time during the summer swimming season where swimmers can invest in extra diligent practice and amp up their conditioning. Pool sessions will be geared towards on technique and conditioning specific to swimmers’ events at the Regional and Provincial Championships.
Camp Includes:
- Camp Long Sleeve/Hoodie (if registered on/before June 17th) - because warm muscles are fast muscles!
- Low swimmer-to-coach ratio
- Skill progressions geared toward daily training
- Individualized training sets based on skill level and event focus
- Swimming video technology for feedback and motivation
- Customized and dynamic dryland training with coaches and guest instructors

Multiple coaches will be on deck throughout all water sessions as we want to leave no stone un-turned in the swimmer's preparation! We are excited to have knowledgeable and enthusiastic coaches available throughout the week. As our roster of swimmers grow, additional coaches will be added to ensure our ideal swimmer-to-coach ratios are upheld.
The objective of this camp is to provide swimmers with enhanced knowledge, conditioning, confidence and EXCITEMENT that will result in elevated performance at this year’s Regional and Provincial Championships. Along with enhanced performances at the Regional and Provincial Championships, we believe that this camp will build strong and lasting relationships between members of the Alberta Summer Swimming Association.
