+ About Our Swim Camps
- Description: Our confidence-first approach takes center stage at Fitness Alive Swim Camps. We get kids excited to learn and passionate about swimming with small-group swim classes, structured open swim, and fun dry-land activities. Children will be grouped by ability level in the pool for a week of accelerated group lessons. Out of the water, they'll have a blast exploring concepts of perseverance, teamwork and leadership through games, movement and arts and crafts. Activities will take place at our pool facility and, weather permitting, at nearby neighborhood park locations.
- Age + Skill Requirements: These camps are for kids ages 6-12 only. Campers must be in this age range by camp start date. Additionally, all campers must be fully water-comfortable — meaning, they have had prior pool experience and can confidently submerge in the pool. In Fitness Alive parlance, kids should be at least at a Goldfish 1 level of swim ability.
If you are unsure if your child meets these skill prerequisites, please email us at camp@fitnessalivephilly.com prior to registration so we can help you decide!
- Dates, Times + Locations: All camps are 5-day camps; partial enrollment cannot be accommodated. No refunds are given if you cannot attend all five days. Morning drop-off starts at 8:45am; pick-up is promptly at 3pm. Late pick-up fees will apply beginning at 3:05pm.
- Week 1: June 16-20, 2025 - Center City - 9am-3pm
- Week 2: June 23-27, 2025 - Center City - 9am-3pm
- Week 3: July 7-11, 2025 - South Philly - 9am-3pm
- Week 4: July 14-18, 2025 - South Philly - 9am-3pm
+ Camp Schedule: What Happens at Camp?
Each week has a different creative theme to keep our campers engaged and moving! Generally speaking, our campers spend half the day in the water, with an hourlong swim lesson followed by open swim and playtime. The other half of the day is spent on dryland doing arts, crafts, and other activities and playing coach-led games in our gym space.
