Camp Extras

* Due to popular demand our Private Coaching Sessions, Video Analysis and E-Swim Report sell out very quickly. To avoid disappointment we ask that you sign-up for these Camp Extras at time of registration.

One-Hour Private Coaching

* Maximum of 4 hours, per swimmer, per camp.

The price of a one-hour private coaching session is $150.00. For further information please contact: positiveswimcoach@mac.com »


Video Analysis

* Maximum of 6 per camp week.

Video analysis dramatically improves a swimmer's understanding of how the swim and what needs to be improved upon - great for the visual learner!

The package includes:

  • Above and below water videotaping of each stroke
  • A one-hour video review with former Olympic Coach Nick Baker
  • A take-home DVD
  • A written summary emailed within one month of videotaping session

Price: $350.00


E-Swim Report

The purpose of the E-Swim Report is to identify and document any strengths/weaknesses in a swimmer's starts, strokes and turns. It is intended to be a blueprint for improvement and to serve as a compass for long-term skill development. The report is prepared by Head Coach Nick Baker and e-mailed within one month of camp completion.

Price: $250.00


Equipment

We highly recommend the use of Finis Forearm Fulcrum Paddles and a Finis competitive swimming snorkel (if you child is comfortable using one). Paddles and snorkels may be purchased through the camp and picked up at camp check-in.

Forearm Fulcrum Paddles - Price: $22.00
