In its 41st summer, the Hartwick College competitive swimming camps are set to provide male and female swimmers ages 9 to 18 an opportunity to develop skills and techniques under the guidance of a highly trained coaching staff. Enrollment limit guarantees individual attention (1:5 ratio, staff to camper).
The first session will be a stroke technique camp that will enable competitive swimmers to develop skills and techniques in starts, turns, individual medley, and all 4 competitive strokes.
The second session will be the stroke technique, sprint and distance camp, which emphasizes stroke techniques, physical conditioning, appropriate training along with race strategies for sprint, stroke, middle distance, and distance events.
The third session will be a Swim Training Camp w/ Stroke Technique and 1M & 3M Diving Camp.

- 1M & 3M Diving Camp will provide 1 Meter & 3 Meter Springboard Diving along with dry board and trampoline.
Designed for serious swimmers, the camp teaches the latest in swimming techniques in a fun-filled setting. Time is provided for relaxation.
The camp will help swimmers learn the mental and physical aspects of meet preparation, as well as all the new technical aspects of competitive swimming (strokes, starts and turns).

The camp also focuses on the psychology of swimming, nutrition, dry-land training, weight training, relaxation, and visualization. Individual stroke work and analysis of above- and below-water videos are also part of the schedule.
