Peddie Swim Camp

2024 Dates: June 24-28; July 8-12

Are you ready to improve your swimming? We aim to help every swimmer looking to hone technique, build endurance, or get ready to train at the highest level! Register today for one or both sessions.

One session — $495; Both sessions — $950

Each week of camp is geared toward experienced swimmers looking to take their strokes to the next level. The focus will be on all four strokes, preparing swimmers to reach the next level of performance in the water. Each day, coaches bring new and innovative drills to help fine-tune an athlete’s performance. All swimmers will spend time on starts and turns, working to perfect their transitions into and off the wall, getting off the blocks quickly and nailing those underwaters. We hope to see your swimmer in the pool this summer!
