About Swim Camp
Residential and day options / Ages 12 to 18
Session 1: High-Performance Technique Swim Camp is the perfect opportunity for swimmers to take their skills and performance to the next level. What makes STG’s High Performance camp unique is the size of the camp and the expertise of the coaches who will work with your swimmer EVERY session. Our head coach, and two-time Olympian Leah Stancil, has years of experience coaching the most elite athletes in the world; she is committed to bringing her knowledge and enthusiasm to each swimmer in the pool every day. She will lead classroom and pool sessions, ensuring your swimmer learns the most current technical skills and racing strategies and feels valued by all our coaches. The mission is to balance skills – stroke technique, starts & turns – with building better training and racing skills.
We can ensure that each swimmer feels seen and heard because we are limiting our enrollment to 75 swimmers and have a staff of assistant coaches who haven’t just swum but have coached extensively with elite swimmers. These coaches can provide personalized instruction and feedback tailored to your swimmer’s specific needs, helping them to fine-tune their technique and training regimen to maximize their performance and potential. The camp includes a variety of challenging workouts and training sessions specifically designed to help swimmers build strength, endurance, and speed while improving their mental toughness and focus.
What is camp without fun? Besides building new friendships with other swimmers from all over the country and world, in and outside of the pool, we conclude camp with a swim meet. The campers will be divided into teams; we’ll turn on the scoreboard and the music and let swimmers practice their new skills in a competitive but fun environment.
If you have a swimmer looking to take their performance and technique to the next level, then the SwimTec High-Performance Technique Swim Camp is the perfect opportunity. With a low athlete-to-coach ratio, top-notch coaching, and a challenging and engaging training program, this camp will help your swimmer reach new heights in their swimming career.
Session 2: Weekend Starts Camp The start can determine the race — and at this camp, we make every millisecond count. Our High-Performance Starts Camp combines advanced technical instruction with explosive power development, reaction-time training, and dynamic underwater progression. Athletes will learn elite start variations, breakthrough launch mechanics, and how to carry speed into stroke execution with precision. Classroom sessions provide tactical insights and race-winning strategies used by top competitors. Personalized feedback and video review ensure each swimmer leaves with measurable improvements and the tools to dominate the race from the very first movement.
