Come join the Wildcat family on June 8-12th, 2025! This four-day summer technique camp is designed to give swimmers cutting edge tips and coaching on all 4 competitive strokes along with starts, turns, and underwaters.

Campers will get the opportunity to learn best practices from the Kentucky coaches in daily classroom sessions and then apply these concepts during pool sessions where they will get individualized feedback.

FAQ:

I need to cancel my registration; can I get a refund?

If you need to cancel your registration, please email ckwright@uky.edu to request a refund.

Does my physical form have to be on the form provided, because I have a physical, but it’s on a different form?

No. You don’t have to use the medical form provided. If your medical form states that you are physically able to participate in the camp and signed by a medical doctor and less than 12 months old that will work.

My child’s physical expires right before the camp, but I don’t have an appointment to get a new physical until after the camp, and my insurance won’t allow me to get a physical any sooner, what should I do?

Call your doctor’s office and explain the situation, often they will be able to help you.

Physicals are performed at the Little Clinics at Kroger for only $35 (without insurance approval).

Call your insurance and ask if you got a physical before the 12-month mark if they will still cover it. Often insurances have a grace period.

What do we need to bring with us to camp?

Each camper should bring swim practice equipment, including caps, goggles, swim suits, and running shoes, equipment bags along with training equipment such as fins or paddles do not need to be brought to camp.

Yes, they will be eating on campus for all meals. There is also a camp store in the dorms where campers can buy limited snacks and drinks.
