Gustavus Swimming Camps

2025 Sprint & Training Camps

In Sprint Camp, campers will specifically work on both stroke technique and speed work.  Morning sessions will be spent learning and doing stroke drills and fine tuning essential components of a successful sprint: starts, breakouts, turns, and finishes.  Afternoons will include an expanded workout and drills to help campers with their sprinting in all four strokes.  We will also have video analysis for the campers on all four strokes.  In addition to work in the pool, mental training will also be addressed.

Both camps will include dryland training components we use in our program.  We will be using different workout tools such as medicine balls, rice, and core exercises.  Other components to dryland at camp will include a stretching program, visualization, and goal setting.  No weights/weight room sessions will be used during camp.
