SWIM CAMP

Camp Description:
The Lehigh University Swimming Camp 2009 will provide swimmers with a five day program designed to improve technique and advance training skills. It will include technique sessions for each of the four competitive strokes oriented towards swimming efficiency. Technique sessions will revolve around drills and explanations governing force application to swimming. Each session will be guided by our experienced staff. Campers will be supervised by the coaches and counselors at all times. The Lehigh University Swim Camp will include an optional early morning aerobic workout and a mandatory afternoon workout which will be geared for cardiovascular conditioning and emphasizing ideas learned in that day’s technique session. The daily program will include dry-land exercises, flexibility sessions, nutrition, and goal setting seminars. Swimmers will be videotaped swimming two laps of each stroke with coach’s analysis. Analysis will include a step by step evaluation on their technique and swimmers will be given ideas on how to improve. Each evening, a special session will cover the competitive technique for starts and turns of the four strokes. The last evening session of each week will be the Annual Lehigh Swim Camp Talent Show. On Wednesday, the camp concludes with awards and wrap up. The Lehigh University Swimming Camp is designed to teach and advance competitive techniques. This camp is for boys and girls aging from 9-17 years old. All participants need to know how to swim all four competitive strokes. We will meet everyone’s needs from novice swimmers to the advanced swimmer. We must emphasize that this camp is for swimmers who train and compete on a competitive level.

Camp Features:

• Stroke Analysis
• Functional Training
• Daily Starts and Turns
  • Some of the most neglected areas of competitive swimming are starts and turns. The start and turn are the fastest part of any race and can improve performance significantly. However, due to time, space, equipment or interest, the start and turn are not usually part of every daily practice. At the Lehigh Swim Camp, we will dedicate special attention to starts and turns each day of the camp.
• Evening Applied Skills Review Workout
• Optional AM Workout
• Video Taping
• Beautiful campus and facilities
• Each camper will receive a camp T-shirt, cap, and a video tape of strokes.
• Special guest speakers
