Which Swim Camp do I choose for my child?

With less than three months away from choosing a swim camp,here are some things  consider

• Decide what you want to get out of your camp.
  • Are you mostly interested in stroke work?
  • Do you want the stroke work balanced with training time?
  • Do you mostly want a social camp where your child will have fun?
  • Is there a college campus you want your child to see?

• Talk to other families that sent their children to camps.
  • Did they have a good experience?
  • Did it benefit their swimmer?
  • Would they send their swimmer there again?

• Interview the camp staff over the phone or over email.
  • What is their philosophy?
  • Can they answer your questions and concerns?
  • Find out who will coach your athlete.

• Talk to your club coach.
  • If you know you want your child to attend a camp, ask your coach if there is a best time during the summer for your child to go.
  • Has he or she had good experiences with swimmers attending certain camps?
  • Or bad experiences with certain camps?
  • A willing coach will look at the summer schedule and help find a good week or two.
