Discover Aquatics

The minimum age for this camp is 8 years old as of the start of camp due to water safety ratios. This is outside our normal 9 to 11-year-old age range.

Build and improve aquatic skills at our camps for ages 8-14. In the pool, participants will enjoy a variety of aquatic activities including but not limited to: synchronized swimming, lifesaving sport, diving, water polo and underwater hockey. 

Experience: Participants are expected to like the water and be comfortable in the water both shallow and deep. There isn't a specific level of swimming lessons they need to reach.  Being comfortable enough to swim a length of the pool without stopping would be a good start to the evaluation of swimming strength.
