Camp Anokijig - Competitive Swim Camp Specialty
Specialty Programs combine all the activities of Resident Camp with a focus on one particular activity for part of the day. Many programs, like horses or fishing, are available in both Resident Camp and Specialty Programs, with the difference being the level of focus. This is the best of both worlds...Resident Camp activities, plus a Specialty of your choice. All Specialty Programs have limited enrollment, so register early!
This program combines all the activities of Anokijig with an added focus on the sport of competitive swimming. Designed for the current (YMCA or U.S.S.) age-group competitive swimmers, activities include approximately two hours per day at a local pool practicing stroke techniques, starts, and turns. Swimmers are videotaped at each pool session and an hour at camp each morning is dedicated to slow motion review of technique and coaching to improve for the next session and beyond. Besides daily evaluations, our experienced coach will also give each camper a written evaluation on all four strokes to take home. On the final day, competitive swim campers can challenge their endurance with a swim to the island and back (weather permitting). Plus, when daily swim instruction is done, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy all the activities of Resident Camp.
