Overnight, Extended Day & Day Camps

This camp will cover all four strokes as well as starts and turns. The overnight portion of the camp allows the campers to stay in the dorms. They will have 24 hour supervision and be with an authorized adult counselor at all times. The extended day campers will check in at the pool in the morning and check out after dinner/evening activities.  This is a great option for those easing into the overnight process. The day campers will check in at the pool in the morning and check out at the pool after the dryland activities. Lunch will be provided. The final day of camp will include a small camp meet where the swimmers will get the chance to race a 50 of each stroke. There will be a short closing ceremony to wrap up the week before the campers are dismissed. This camp focuses solely on technique and does not including full traditional training sessions (see elite camp for training sessions).

University of Utah Swim Elite Training Camp – In Partnership With FINIS

The Utah Swim Elite Training Camp is expertly designed and led by our Utah coaching staff to elevate swimmers' performance. The camp focuses on enhancing stroke technique through structured, progressive sessions, while incorporating high-level pool training each day. Swimmers will work on improving all strokes, starts, turns, and racing strategies, with the added benefit of video analysis. The training component will seamlessly integrate these techniques into an energy-intensive program designed to optimize performance for the summer season.

Additionally, the camp emphasizes "whole person" development by introducing swimmers to performance expectations beyond the pool. This includes daily dryland and flexibility workouts, along with lectures on sports psychology, nutrition, and leadership to foster well-rounded athletes.

Campers will be exposed to the latest training equipment from the most innovative swim gear company in the world, FINIS, which is also the main sponsor of the University of Utah swim team. Campers will be able to purchase any FINIS gear at a discounted rate on the last day of camp. 

This camp is recommended for male and female swimmers aged 12-18 who have achieved at least the USA Swimming "A" time standards.
