Swimmers must be in grades 1st - 5th to enroll.

day-off Swim camps

When school’s closed, swim is on! Fitness Alive’s Day-Off Swim Camps are a great option for fun (and pool time!) on school holidays. These camps are open to 1st through 5th graders who are comfortable in the water and can fully submerge. We’ll teach the rest!

All Fitness Alive swim camps include swim instruction with our team of knowledgable, passionate coaches — plus open swim with silly pool games; crafts, games and sports indoors and out; and lots of fun along the way. The goal of our camps is to build confidence and foster a love for swimming!

+ Age + Skill Requirements

These camps are for kids in grades 1-5 only. Additionally, all campers must be fully water-comfortable — meaning, they have had prior pool experience and can confidently submerge in the pool. On camp day, kids will be divided into skill-based small groups for their instructopn time. Our coaches will work to refine swim skills for more confidence and proficiency in the water. In terms of Fitness Alive's group class levels, campers should be at Goldfish or Dolphins ability level when entering camp.
