Events: Oct 31 - Nov 1Fitter & Faster Camp

Fitter & Faster is producing a series of 2-day swim camps for competitive swimmers ages 9 and up at the Carlisle YMCA Aquatic Center in 2026 & 2027.

Fitter and Faster clinicians are Olympians and National Team members who have achieved at the highest level of the sport of swimming… and who have the unique skill to teach what they know from a technical perspective to swimmers of all ages and abilities.

Swimmers and parents are invited to ask the clinicians questions during a Q&A session. Gain insight into their training regimen, diet and nutrition, and recovery tactics.

Observe clinicians swim at full speed and demonstrate a progression of perfectly executed drills to achieve powerful, efficient and fast swimming.

Throughout the camp, swimmers will practice what they’ve learned with some of the world’s most elite Swimmer Clinicians and coaches!

Fast Freestyle & Backstroke Technique Swim Camp – Jan 2 & 3

Freestyle and backstroke are referred to as “long-axis” strokes because they rely on the rotation of the hips and shoulders around the spine to generate power. This camp builds on the natural connection between the two strokes–including bodyline, flutter kick, and a high elbow catch–to enhance technical development in both. Your swimmer will also explore what makes these strokes different, unlocking some key understanding to help them swim both strokes faster and more efficiently.
