Swim Camp FAQ
Expand each section below to learn more about our swim camps. Camps are available for kids ages 6-12.
+ 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 and paddle in the water. 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 appointments@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; camp program starts at 9am. Pick-up is promptly at 3pm. Late pick-up fees will apply beginning at 3:05pm.

+ Camp Schedule: What Happens at Camp?
We 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. Some days we may have a second open swim in the afternoon. The rest of the day is spent on dryland doing arts, crafts, and other activities and playing coach-led games indoors or out.
