Mercersburg Swim Camp is dedicated to improving students’ techniques and helping them develop as swimmers both inside and outside of the pool. Mercersburg Academy’s storied aquatics program has produced more than 30 Olympians and brings a tradition of excellence to their summer program. The primary aim of the camp is to provide an experience that teaches swimmers the most innovative techniques available while offering a fun environment. The philosophy is simple: swimmers don’t just compile distance, but rather work on improvements in starting, turning, and stroke techniques. Prospective registrants should be aware that this program isn’t an introduction to swimming, but rather is geared toward those with some experience on a swim team or in similar programs. Mercersburg Swim Camp participants stay in Mercersburg Academy’s residence halls. The swimmer-to-staff ratio is around 5 to 1, and coaches and instructors are current and former college swimmers or Mercersburg Academy graduates with swimming experience.
