The Summer Camp That
Builds
Confident Swimmers
Half-Day Summer Swim Camp combines daily swimming, STEM crafts, and storybased fun, giving kids ages 4 and older the daily repetition they need to make real progress in the water.
More Than a Swim Class - It’s an Experience
Every day of summer camp is packed with structured swimming, free swim, and hands-on STEM activities — all in a warm, welcoming environment designed for kids ages 4 and up.
What a Day at Camp Looks Like
Each day of camp follows the same structure to keep routines predictable and structured. The exact order and timing may shift depending on your child’s current swim level.
The Best Week of the Summer
Camp is offered as a full week, Monday through Friday – because five consecutive days in the water is exactly what it takes to see real progress. Sign up for one, two or every week in the summer.

Why Daily Swimming Accelerates Progress
Weekly lessons are great — but daily repetition in summer camp is how kids build lifelong skills, and parents get lifelong peace of mind.
1. Over a Month of Lessons in Under a Week
One week of camp equals more than a month of weekly lessons — and it shows. 90% of campers earn at least one Progress Patch by the end of their week.
2. Confidence Grows Day Over Day
Each morning, kids return to the pool with a little more confidence than the day before. By Friday, the transformation is visible.
3. Muscle Memory Develops Faster
Five consecutive days in the water reinforces skills more deeply than five spread-out classes. Kids level up in ways that take months to achieve otherwise.
4. Ideal for Busy Families
A structured 9am–12pm morning program gives working families reliable summer coverage while kids do something genuinely enriching.
