Technique Summer Camp

Currently there are no upcoming events. Check back soon!

Welcome to Pitt Swimming’s Summer Camp experience! We are excited to offer this opportunity for aspiring swimmers to learn from our world class coaches and athletes.  

Each day will include fun activities as well as presentations from Olympians, NCAA All-Americans and other notable speakers. Let their stories and experiences be a part of your inspiration to reach the highest level in our sport.  

Campers will be placed into groups according to their skill level and age, which allows for the appropriate level of instruction and progression for each camper. To create the best instructive environment possible, we aim to create a camper to coach ratio of 10:1 to promote quality instruction and direct feedback for each camper.
