Prep Guide
Welcome to Your Swim Camp Prep Guide
Here you'll find everything you need to know before your child jumps into the water. This includes important details about what to expect before camp starts, what to bring, special notes for YMCA members, and time slots for when each camp starts. Whether it's your first swim camp or you're returning for another season, this guide will help make sure you and your swimmer are fully prepared for a safe and fun experience.
Important Information
Before Camp
After you register, I’ll personally email you to confirm which days your child will be attending (especially important if you selected the per-day option). This helps us prepare for the right number of swimmers and make sure each child gets the attention they need.
You’ll also receive reminder emails leading up to your camp session with everything you need to know—what to bring, where to go, and tips to help your child feel confident and excited before jumping in the water.
A waiver will be sent to you before camp begins. If it is not completed ahead of time, it must be filled out at the pool before your child can participate. No exceptions will be made—safety comes first!
Please arrive at the pool at least 15 minutes before your scheduled camp time. This gives you plenty of time to check in, complete the waiver (if needed), use the restroom, and get your child ready to start right on time.
What to Bring
- Swimsuit (Please arrive with it on)
- Towel
- Goggles (Optional but helpful)
- Water bottle
- Swim Cap (if prefferred)
- We'll provide snacks and gatorade as well
Pick-Up
Pick-up happens immediately after camp ends. Please arrive on time, as our instructors are scheduled to transition to the next session or wrap up for the day.
If someone other than a parent or guardian is picking up your child, just let us know during check-in that morning. Safety is our priority—we’ll never release a child to an unapproved adult.
Saftey and Support
We maintain a low swimmer-to-instructor ratio and always have extra staff available—especially for our Tiny Tides campers if parents can't be in the water. Safety and positive experiences are our top priorities!
Miss a Day or Need to Cancel?
If your swimmer misses a camp day without notice, unfortunately, no refund will be given. We prepare for each swimmer ahead of time, and no-shows make it difficult to plan effectively.
If you cancel at least one day in advance, you’ll receive a 50% refund for that day.
If you purchased a single-day pass and need to switch to a different day, we’re happy to help—no penalty will be charged, as long as you notify us ahead of time.
To make any changes or request a cancellation, please visit our Contact page and send us an email.
YMCA Members
If you're a YMCA member, don’t forget to enter the code "YMCA" at checkout! This helps us confirm your membership. If you have any issues using the code, click on "Contact" to shoot our team a message and we’ll get it sorted.
