Technical Swim Camp

 

Technical swim camps are offered at various times during the summer months for competitive swimmers who want more technical skill development.  Swimming is a sport where technical skills are important.  While we work on this daily at practice, this a great setting to practice and learn.

 

Camp overview

 

  • Swimmers are in the water the first hour - working on technique.

  • Second hour is out of the water - athletic development and team bonding 

  • Final hour is back in pool doing more technical skills.  

  • Please note we do NOT train at Swim Camp.

  • Swim camp is not for Little Monsters.

 

Register for AQM Summer camps.  

 

Coaching

 

AQM summer camps are runs run by AQM director Pete Motekaitis.  Pete is highly knowledgeable about youth athletic development.  

 

These swim camps are designed specificially for youth development and the skillsets they need to learn and practice to develop their swimming and become an athlete. The tech swim camps are a dynamic camp where a lot of learning and teaching occur.  

 

Regardless, there are no magic wands and Pete is not a magician.  Swimming is a sport of practice, practice, tweak, practice, practice, tweak.

 

Swim Camp Supplies

Here is a list of supplies that swimmers will need for the swim camps

 

  • Swim suit, goggles and caps (if swimmer wears caps)

  • Sun block (please apply before camp, swimmers will reapply)

  • Towel

  • Snacks & drink

  • Tennis shoes

 

Parking + Drop-off  

 

The university has changed the transportation area around Hickey pool.  You now need to go to the parking structure behind Hickey pool to park.  There are parking meters available.  There are a few free 30-min spots at Hickey, but they will be first come first serve.

 

If you have a personal parking meter you can use those according to the University's guidelines.  

 

Be sure to understand and follow parking guidelines throughout the UC Davis campus.  UC Davis Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) heavily monitors the area around Hickey pool and other areas during the summer.  Information about campus parking can be found on the TAPS website http://taps.ucdavis.edu/.

 

There are also some free one-hour parking spots on A street and 3rd street.

 

You can find the practice pool locations here.
