How is a camper’s swimming level determined?
All traditional campers have the opportunity to take swim lessons each session. Prior to entering our pool, all campers are required to take the “swim challenge”. (This is equivalent to a swim test, but what camper wants to take a test in the summer!) This will allow our WSI (Water Safety Instructor) to place each camper in a swim group with other campers of the same swimming ability. Tee Pees (preschoolers) do not receive formal swim lessons, but rather are given an opportunity to use the well supervised shallow bay of the pool on a daily basis. Swim lessons are encouraged, but are optional, for Pioneers, Discoverers, Explorers, Adventurers, and Navigators. Specialty campers will have the opportunity to swim daily in a free swim setting. All campers, once they have been placed in a swim group, have the opportunity to take part in our free swim period, which is held daily.
