NEW this year:

ELITE SWIM ACADEMY
The Bruin Elite Swim Academy is offering an exciting teaching and training opportunity for competitive swimmers, held at the beautiful Spieker Aquatics Center on the UCLA campus. This camp is specifically designed for experienced swimmers that want to immerse themselves in competitive swimming – learning better stroke technique, faster starts and turns, and becoming more knowledgeable on race strategy, mental preparation, goal setting and nutrition. It includes training sessions every day, and focuses on stroke technique and drill work for all stroke, as well as on starts and turns. There will be videotaping and analysis available for each swimmer. The academy is open to boys and girls that are competitive swimmer, ages 9-18, and it is recommended that campers are currently involved in a competitive swim program. If you want to take your swimming to the next level, come join us at the Bruin Elite Swim Academy!
