    Parent Sessions

    Parents are invited to come to the introduction at each swim camp and also the “wrap up” at the end. During these sessions the clinicians review what was learned during the camp and also answer a wide range of questions including balancing school and swimming, nutrition and more.

    We can integrate additional time for clinicians to speak with parents on a variety of topics at the swim camps. Topics may include best methods for supporting your child; the coach-athlete-parent relationship; Growth Development & Performance; Can my/Should my child swim in College.
