Every year, TNYA hosts a week-long spring swim training camp. In 2025, our camp will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and you can find out all about it here!
In 2024, camp took place between April 1 and 7 at the wonderful facilities of the Palm Springs Aquatics Center under the direction of Carnegie Mellon Head Swim Coach Matt Kinney.
Swim camp involves a variety of coaches over the course of twelve two-hour workouts: a welcome workout on Sunday, followed by two workouts per day Monday through Saturday (morning and afternoon), with Wednesday afternoon off. Swim Camp caters both to proficient swimmers who simply want to spend a week engaging in intensive exercise in the sun and swimmers wanting to intensively develop their stroke technique.
What Swim Camp is About
- Camp is for everyone. Regardless of skill level, there will be a lane and coaching for you. If you want to train to compete, we will have excellent coaching staff to give you guidance. If you’re new or need help with basic techniques, we have 4-5 clinics planned for the afternoon workouts. If you want to have fun, there is a suite of activities planned. Our coaches were selected because of their skill coaching at all levels of skill, and for the significant preparation they have already done in developing amazing workouts.
- Team building is a major focus. Practices and events are built to encourage it. Camp is a great way to really get to know the team (and not just your lane). After practice many people go grab lunch or head back to their rooms to chow down on groceries they have waiting for them before hanging out with other swimmers around town.
- Camp is tailored to your personal goals. Do you want to learn how to swim butterfly? Maybe perfect your breaststroke pull-out? Break a minute 100m freestyle? We will ask you about your personal goals in advance of camp and work to develop a program that fits as many attendees as possible.
