The University of Florida
GATOR SWIM CAMPS are developmental camps designed to teach swimmers proper technique and provide quality training to swimmers of ALL abilities between 8 and 18 years old. The camps emphasize technical skills, training habits, and mental preparation as well as the importance of health and fitness in a structured, fun, and enthusiastic Gator environment. Campers will interact with Olympic Gold Medalists, World and NCAA Champions, as well as Olympic and World Championship coaches.

Each camper will receive specific, hands-on instruction for each of the four strokes, starts and turns. There will also be lectures on each of the four strokes, nutrition, and special talks given by coaches and champion swimmers! Campers will be fully supervised at all times by counselors. Activities will take place on the beautiful campus of the University of Florida.
Campers must be 13 years old the first day of camp in order to be eligible for a resident camp. All day campers must be signed in and out each day by a parent or someone authorized by the camper’s parent. Resident campers stay at the University of Florida and will be housed in our air-conditioned dorms located on campus and three meals will be provided each day. Day campers will be provided with lunch.
The University of Florida Gator Camps are designed to review the drills, starts, and turns of all four strokes. Drills will be incorporated into the session. Camps are available to swimmers of all abilities between 8-18 years old. Campers must bring fins.
