Come learn from the best!
Underwater Videotaping
All of our videotaping has an audio track with a personal critiqued
from Coach Kirner as well as a one-to-one feedback session with their camp
counselor. Additionally, the camper can purchase a video of the proper
technique and drills used in camp.
Mental Toughness Training
One of the most well-received features of camp is the daily mental
toughness sessions offered. These motivational talks and exercises helps
the athlete deal with the pressures of competing. Exercises include
relaxation, imagery and championship-building self talk.
Comprehensive Team Activities
The underlying theme of camp is to build team leaders and make campers
better teamplayers on their own teams. Activities such as water polo,
dryland games, cognitive activities and teambuilding sessions all are
presented with the idea of building the “total” athlete.
Critical Programming Exercises
Each year we try to present different topics critical to the athlete’s
success. This year in addition to the topics expressed above we will be
offering short informational and interactive workshops on goal-setting and
nutrition. For the goal-setting we will be presenting the new Swimpact
software. Nutritional topics will include the most current information on
what you need to eat to succeed.
