Twice a week over the next few months, Swimming World Magazine will feature a camp specializing in teaching swimmers how to improve their technique, swim faster and have fun with some of the biggest names in swimming. Motivation is the part of every package! Programs may include day and overnight camps as well as distance and stroke specialization. Today, we are featuring Arete Swim Camp.
This is our 18th year of inspiration and intense instruction with Owner/Director Coach Chuck Warner, joined by 2000 USA Olympic Team Captain Tom Wilkens.
For 14 consecutive years, ARETE has sold out most sessions. Our four core objectives are: immediate skill improvement, self-esteem development, teamwork and “WOW experiences.” We are one of the only camps in the world in which each swimmer takes home their own personal DVD of all four strokes filmed underwater. A coach analyzes each stroke with each swimmer using our camp workbook. All of our camps include “low-ropes course” experiences and have a coach-to-swimmer ratio of 1:9 or better. Open to campers ages 8 to 18 who can swim 25 yards of all four competitive strokes.
Coach Chuck Warner is a three-time USA National Team coach, four-time Big East Conference coach of the year, author of …And Then They Won Gold and Four Champions, One Gold Medal. He is the former President of the American Swimming Coaches Association.
