The Arete Swim Camp is celebrating its 20th anniversary of inspiration and intense instruction led by three-time USA National Team Coach Chuck Warner. For sixteen consecutive years ARETE has sold out most sessions and helped more than 4000 swimmers. Their four core objectives are: Immediate Skill Improvement, Self-Esteem Development, Teamwork and “WOW Experiences.” Each swimmer is videoed in all four strokes underwater and has permanent access to their own recording. A coach analyzes each stroke with each swimmer using our camp workbook that we provide. All of our camps include an “Inner Engineering Curriculum” and have a coach to swimmer ratio of 1:9 or better. Coach Chuck Warner’s experience includes four-time Big East Conference coach of the year, author of …And Then They Won Gold, Four Champions, One Gold Medal and former President of the American Swimming Coach’s Association.
“When I hear other parents talking about how their kids are getting bored with swimming, I tell them, ‘send your kids to the Arete Swim Camp!’ The kids learn a lot, have a ball and reconnect to what they love about the sport.’ Tim S.
The word “arête” is the Greek for champion or “achievement everlasting”. Chuck Warner’s Arete Swim Camp combines the development of an individual’s character with that of their swimming skills and conditioning. This process helps each individual begin the journey to becoming a “champion of themself”. In the past seven years, many swimmers at Arête have begun or continued that journey toward success. The camp has met with very high acclaim.
One of the unique features of the Arete swim camp is the instructional and self-esteem development of each camper. Pool instruction is conducted with a coach to swimmer ration of one to nine (or less). Swimmers receive feedback after every drill or exercise with coaches positioned at both ends of the 25 yard pool. Instruction by coaches in and out of the pool strives to increase the camper’s self-image and self-esteem as a swimmer and as a person.
The Arete Swim Camp is open to swimmers with limited competitive swimming experience through national level athletes. Swimmers should be capable of swimming 50 yards of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Resident campers must be between the ages of nine and eighteen and day campers can be as young as eight years old.

The ARETE Swim Camp Four Core Objectives:
- Immediately improve each INDIVIDUAL’S SKILLS.
- Enhance each individual’s SELF-ESTEEM as a swimmer.
- Greatly develop the joy of TEAMWORK in each camper and send them home better able to be teammate.
- Create WOW! experiences for every camper of things that excite them about the sport.
The single most important aspect of our camp is the safety and welfare of the children in it. We are proud of our superior record in this regard and are vigilant to continue it. Each staff member is trained in our “Child Protection Manual and Safety Procedures Program.” As a part of that program our policies include:
- No child ever being left alone (this includes a buddy system when going to the restroom).
- A counselor is never alone with any child.
- Each staff member has a background check.
- A thorough reference check for all camp employees.
