Swimmers from across central Kentucky will have the opportunity to hone their skills at a series of swim camps starting in May hosted by Transylvania University’s swim team. The camps are designed to give swimmers who had their 2020 seasons shortened or canceled a head start on the 2021 season.
“So many club swimmers didn’t get the chance to have a full season last summer because of COVID closures. Our Preseason Club Camps are an opportunity for these athletes to get back into the pool for higher level instruction ahead of the summer season,” said Dave Doolin, head coach of Transy’s swimming and diving teams.
To register, swimmers must have one year of summer league experience. These camps are not open to beginning students. The programs offered include:
