Swimsport Camp--2012

*Coming Soon--Competitive Swim Option for Swimsport Camp!

STAY TUNED!!

Summer 2012

 

Sign your children up for an experience of a lifetime as they make new friends and engage in physical activity during the hot summer days.

The Swimsport Camp (grades 4-8) offers recreational, non-competitive activities in swimming, soccer, basketball, sailing, rock climbing and others, directed by qualified specialists. The camp also offers a variety of special in-house events as well as field trips each session to various city venues such as Fenway Park, Georges Island, and the Omni Theater, just to name a few.

Swimsport offers two options:

[Coming Soon! Option C: Swimsport Competitive Swim]

Option A: Swimsport: Sailing*

* Note: in order to participate in the sailing program, the camper must be at a level 4 swimming status as recommended by the American Red Cross Standards, and as evaluated by our aquatics staff. Spaces are limited.

Option B: Swimsport : Swimming

We are excited to be adding a new division of Swimsport Camp that includes two swim lessons each day with our certified swim instructors. This division has been created for those children who are looking for an alternative activity to sailing or for those who are working towards passing their swim test in order to sail in future sessions.

Option C: Swimsport : Competitive Swim

New for 2012 will be a competitive swim portion of Swimsport Camp. Information will be forthcoming of this exciting program that will offer swim analysis, relays, drills, and seminars led by aquatics professionals. Details for signing up will be posted as soon as possible.

 

Attention Parents: Please indicate your child's preference for each session upon registering for the camp season.
