Overnight, Extended Day and Day Campers are supervised at all camp activities. Once the camp is under-way parents may contact our camp chaperone by phone. A contact number will be published in our camp information newsletter.

Swimmers should bring dry-land training gear. This includes running shoes, shorts and a sweatshirt. We also suggest competitive swimming fins, Finis Forearm Fulcrum Paddles and a Finis competitive swimming snorkel (if your child is comfortable using one). Paddles and snorkels may be purchased through the camp. See Camp Extras for further information. Kick boards and pull-buoys are provided.

Camper waives any and all damages that may otherwise arise out of a camp cancellation. Transfer of any camp package or "camp extra", from the original purchaser to another, is not permitted under any circumstance.

Camp Extras

* Due to popular demand our Private Coaching Sessions, Video Analysis and E-Swim Report sell out very quickly. To avoid disappointment we ask that you sign-up for these Camp Extras at time of registration.

One-Hour Private Coaching

* Maximum of 4 hours, per swimmer, per camp.

The price of a one-hour private coaching session is $150.00. For further information please contact: positiveswimcoach@mac.com »


Video Analysis

* Maximum of 6 per camp week.

Video analysis dramatically improves a swimmer's understanding of how the swim and what needs to be improved upon - great for the visual learner!

The package includes:

  • Above and below water videotaping of each stroke
  • A one-hour video review with former Olympic Coach Nick Baker
  • A take-home DVD
  • A written summary emailed within one month of videotaping session

Price: $350.00


E-Swim Report

The purpose of the E-Swim Report is to identify and document any strengths/weaknesses in a swimmer's starts, strokes and turns. It is intended to be a blueprint for improvement and to serve as a compass for long-term skill development. The report is prepared by Head Coach Nick Baker and e-mailed within one month of camp completion.

Price: $250.00


Equipment

We highly recommend the use of Finis Forearm Fulcrum Paddles and a Finis competitive swimming snorkel (if you child is comfortable using one). Paddles and snorkels may be purchased through the camp and picked up at camp check-in.

Forearm Fulcrum Paddles - Price: $22.00

Snorkel - Price: $45.00


Early Arrival Option

We highly recommend that Overnight Campers arrive one day prior to the start of camp. An early arrival package is available and includes accommodations, dinner, breakfast and supervision.

Price: $135.00


Airport Transportation

A supervised shuttle service to and from Reno/Tahoe International is available. We ask that parents schedule their child's arrival between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., the day prior to the start of camp. Departure times should be scheduled between 3:00 p.m and 6:00 p.m. on the final day of camp. See Camp Policies for further information.

Price: $45.00 per person, per way
