Event Description

South Carolina Swimming, Overnight & Day Week Camp, focuses on training swimmers energy systems for success in summer swimming as well as developing and enhancing the training and racing skills of competitive swimmers. Elite Training Camp focuses on training energy systems and developing racing skills for high level swimming. Campers will train twice per day for two hours each session. In addition, campers can participate in dryland training. They receive education from our nutritionist and weight room coaches, including warm up and warm down routines. The South Carolina staff has developed Conference Record Holders, Conference, NCAA, International, and Olympic Champions!

Each camper is grouped with campers of similar age and ability. Each group will receive instruction and practice skills appropriate for that ability. We do our best to have a 10:1 camper to coach ratio, with highly energetic coaches from the South Carolina Swimming Staff and great coaches from around the United States.
