Hello from "The Ville"!

I am very excited about the opportunity to share my 28 years of competitive swimming experience with you. Our highly experienced and qualified coaching staff will teach you valuable techniques to help you continue to improve, and ultimately, SWIM FASTER!

I invite you to join us at the University of Louisville Cardinal Swim Camp for an all- around fun summer experience where you will learn the details of success in and out of the pool!

- Coach Arthur Albiero

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where swimmers are excited to learn about all areas of competitive swimming: from technique, to racing, and training. The camps are open to all swimmers ages 8-18. We will focus on many areas including breakdown of all four competitive strokes, drills, starts, turns as well as goal setting, dry-land training and educational lectures.

Starts, Turns & Breakouts Camp--(Overnight & Commuter)

Ages 8-18. This camp focuses on the small details that make a BIG difference. Improving your starts, turns and breakouts for all four strokes will make your swimming... faster!

Technique & Training Camp--(Overnight, Commuter, Half-Day)

Ages 8-18. This camp focuses on the essential as well as cutting edge skills. Each camper will be placed in a training group according to age, ability, and competitive background. This camp is designed for competitive swimmers who can swim all four competitive strokes. Higher level swimmers will be placed into a higher demand-ing training group and will provide great aerobic training for the summer season.

Advanced Weekly Training Camp --(Overnight & Commuter)

Ages 13-18. This camp is designed for the advanced swimmer who is looking for a "collegiate-like" training experience (8 practices/wk...minimum of 4 LCM practices). Please note this camp will have a reduced schedule due to our Olympic Trial preparation schedule.
