Welcome to Spring Boot Camp 2025!

Welcome to Spring Boot Camp 2025!

We are looking forward to this spring where we get a chance to hone in on our techniques from the base level up. We will work on body alignment, streamlines, powerful pulls, and a lot of kicking.

Group Placement:

During the first week or two, the coaches will be running evaluations and shifting swimmers around accordingly between lanes. You may even be contacted about a different time option for practice if we feel your swimmer would benefit from joining another practice group.

Arrival:

Be ready on deck with your cap, goggles and kickboard 15 minutes prior to your practice start time. Swimmers will stretch and get instructions on the day’s goals. 

 

Equipment:

  • Suit (competition style cross back for girls, jammers for boys. Regular swim trunks are fine for Copper group this spring)

  • Cap for anyone with hair past eyebrows (we have some for sale at the pool, cash or venmo)

  • Good fitting goggles (recommend Speedo Vanquisher Jr for most youth, or TYR Kid’s Swimple for younger kids)

  • Kickboard - You may bring your own or go get one from the Wellness Center gear racks 

 

Copper/Bronze- For the first week, all swimmers will have a start time of 5:00 pm for evaluations. After that, we will email out placements at either the 5:00 pm or the 5:30 pm slot. -

  • Copper is a 30 min practice slot with a smaller group size and an instructor in the water

  • Bronze is a 60 min practice slot with a coach on deck leading a full lane or two. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to me via email. The first week or two will be a little crazy getting everyone settled, so please be patient with the coaching staff and ensure your swimmers that it will calm down into a routine as we move forward. We are confident that your swimmer will not only have a good time, but also improve in their techniques and their confidence in themselves.
