Pool Days Are the Best Days!

One of the best parts of every day at camp is getting to jump in the pool, whether that’s for lessons or for free swim. For many of our campers, daily swimming serves as the perfect chance to get comfortable in the water if it is their first time, or to continue to build skills and learn new strokes for our experienced swimmers. 

We’ve been really intentional about meeting each camper exactly where they are. Our goal is to provide that gentle push of encouragement when needed, and to celebrate every victory, whether that’s somebody getting in the pool for the first time, or crossing the pool independently. One of our favorite things to witness these past two weeks have been the shift in some of our more hesitant swimmers. Seeing kids who were initially nervous or scared to get in now eagerly jumping into the water and swimming with huge smiles is exactly why we love this program. 

But beyond the skill-building and the technical progress, it’s just plain fun. Our campers love to play in the water with friends, compete in dive ring retrieval races, and bond with our wonderful swim instructors. We’re so proud of the progress everyone is making, and we can’t wait to see how much more confidence they’ll build in the water as the weeks go on. It’s going to be a splash!
