The Aggie Swim Camp is known as a premiere technique-based camp where our philosophy is “INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION”.  We do one-on-one analysis and detailed stroke work with EVERY camper, EVERY day. The Aggie Swim Camp is known for being the first major collegiate swim camp to send home an individual film of each camper, included in the cost of camp. The film is a great reference tool that you can use all year long. Extensive filming includes above water, below water, starts and turns with voice-over stroke instruction, as well as one-on-one video analysis with camp coaches daily.  Also included on the film are demonstrations of stroke drills utilized by our coaches with their own teams throughout the year.

Our coaches have a wealth of experience in coaching and developing age group to world-class swimmers including Olympians, Pan-American and NCAA champions. These coaches are on the deck working with the campers EVERY day.

FACILITIES

All pool sessions are held at the Texas A&M University Recreation Center Natatorium.  The natatorium is recognized as one of the finest and fastest in the country and has recently undergone a massive renovation which was unveiled in September, 2014.  The facility has been host to numerous collegiate, national and international level swimming meets, including the 2013 SEC Championships, women’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in both 2009 and 2004 and men’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in 2001, 1998 FINA World Cup and 1998 U.S. Open.  At the 2001 Men’s NCAA Championships 25 NCAA, American and U.S. Open records were broken here. And in December of 1998 at the U.S. Open and World Cup Meets 67 records including American and World records fell. This spectacular $12.5 million state-of-the-art natatorium is our camp home. There are no lockers available at the TAMU Rec Center for campers to utilize while at the pool. Because of this we recommend that campers do not bring valuables to the pool facility. Backpacks and equipment are recommended to be brought onto the pool deck and left in the stands during all practices.

PRACTICES AND CAMP GROUPS

Upon check-in all campers will receive a letter outlining their camp group, room and roommate/suitemate assignments and additional necessary information for their camp stay.

During technique camps all in-water practices will focus on technique, drills and stroke enhancement.  During full camp sessions technique is always our underlying focus, even during the morning conditioning practices.

All practices will take place in either the 50 meter indoor pool set up as either short course yards or long course meters, our indoor diving well set up as short course meters, or our outdoor pool set up as short course yards.

While in the pool, our coach to swimmer ratio is approximately 1:6.  Every camper receives 1:1 attention during our filming and review session every day.

Outside of the pool our campers are placed in camp groups of approximately 15-18 campers according to age.  These camp groups are supervised by a minimum of 2 adult counselors who are with the campers during all times outside of the pool.

CAMPER’S DAILY SCHEDULE

During our technique camps there is no morning conditioning practice.  All of our in-water practices are focused on drills, technique and stroke enhancement.  During full camps our first morning practice is a conditioning session where campers are separated in the pool by the coaches according to their times and abilities.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Planned recreational activities are available daily during scheduled activity time from 12noon-1:30pm and after the evening stroke session. For multiple session campers, weekend activities are planned.
Campers select their daily activity each morning before their first pool session.  Examples of our daytime activities include shopping at the Texas A&M Memorial Student Center, recreational diving off of the 1 meter, 3 meter and/or 5 meter diving boards at the Texas A&M Rec Center, swimming at the outdoor splash pool and lazy river at the Texas A&M Rec Center, rock climbing at the Texas A&M Rec Center rockwall or relaxing at the dorms.  Evening activities include movie night, scavenger hunt, t-shirt designing, an ice cream social, and many more!!
