Campers and coaches live together on the beautiful MHC campus.  This experience helps swimmers grow socially as well as mentally and physically.  Our instruction begins by concentrating on building efficient swimmers.  Throughout the week, campers participate in an extensive program of swimming fitness, quality water time, daily stints in the weight room for older campers, dry land conditioning and strength training lectures from great athletes and professional coaches.  There is a plan of organized recreation each evening. 

The goal is to instill in every athlete the idea that discipline and hard work not only pay off but can be great fun.  Campers are given the opportunity to excel because they take home all of the necessary knowledge needed to be the best they can possibly be.  The ulti­mate reward to any swimmer is a PERSONAL BEST (P.B.).  This is our goal, and every year we receive hundreds of e-mails from our campers telling us about their new P.B.’s.

Our staff is carefully chosen for their qualities of experience: maturity, energy, enthusiasm, and as Coach Good states, “dedicated to personal bests in their per­sonal life as well as their athletic lives.”

All U. S. Sports Camps coaches eat with the campers, live in the camper’s dorms, participate in the evening recreation and are a part of camper’s lives for 24 hours a day.  Our coaches are all outstanding athletes and experienced teaching professionals.

Swimming is a part of their everyday lives.  Every instructor is given instruction in our technique of teach­ing and training competitive swimmers.  Our high stan­dards of selection and training have brought together a hard working staff “second to none” in our field.

 

Parents’ Page – Q’s and A’s

 
Q  Which week for my child?
A   New campers and 11 year olds and younger - week 1. Teenagers and repeat campers 12 years old - weeks 2, 3 or 4.

Q   What are the advantages of attending two consecutive sessions?
A   For first time campers 11 years of age and   under – NONE. For repeat campers and 12 and over swimmers a two week
     stay makes a significant difference in their swimming career.

Q   Do coaches and or campers ever leave campus?
A   NO. NEVER. And we only use a small part of the MHC campus. Our cafeteria is on the first floor of our dormitory along
     with our lounges   and relax­ing deck areas. We can see the athletic complex from this dorm. That is our camp!!!
 

Parents Seminar Friday 9:00 AM

 

Parents want to help their children any way they possibly can.

Every Friday at 9:00 a.m., Coach Good will offer a two hour parents seminar on how to help their swimmers. This WILL NOT make you a coach or an assistant coach. Not even close. But it will make you an informed parent who can keep necessary statistics that will help your young athletes and assist your coaches. Bring paper and something to write with and be ready to listen and ask questions.

Coach Good is a parent of five very athletic children and a grandfather of more athletes. He knows how you feel and wants to help you!
