Gamecock Competitive Performance Swim Camp
This camp is geared towards competitive USA Swimming Athletes.
The Gamecock Competitive Performance Swim Camp is a training-based camp that focuses on elite training and technique to improve stroke efficiency in a fun organized setting. The camp will include practice sessions, a coach’s stroke technique lecture, and a stroke drills session for each of the 4 strokes. The camp will also include multiple filming sessions that include below water recording, side view recording, and a shot of starts and turns. These filming sessions will serve as a beneficial source at home, that can be used throughout the year. Each camper will have the opportunity to receive individual stroke corrections as well as one-on-one video analysis with our coaches and counselors.
- Overnight Campers will stay on campus, where they will be housed in a dorm suite; the Campus Village dormitories are located by the USC Natatorium. Three meals will be provided each day.
- Day Campers will enjoy the same benefits as overnight campers.
- Campers will be supervised throughout the Gamecock Competitive Performance Swim Camp.
The Gamecock Competitive Swim Camp is available on a first-come, first-serve basis to individuals who meet the specified criteria related to age, grade level, and/or gender. The camp is open to male and female swimmers, ages 10-18 of all ability levels. While prior competitive swimming experience is highly recommended, it is not a requirement for participation. Swimmers of various skill levels are welcome to join the camp.
