Our swim camps are divided into three parts: PEAK 1, PEAK 2, and PEAK 3. PEAK 1 is focused primarily on the physical, with twenty five percent, I would say, focused on the technical and there, we get kids who, the more advanced swimmers -- the swimmers typically who have big meets coming up in the summertime and they want to stay in shape -- so they come and they participate in PEAK 1, so we keep them in shape. We send them home physically fit as well as technically fit.

PEAK 2 is a 50/50 blend of training and technique work and we use the iPad a lot in PEAK 2. We film the kids are the kids get instant feedback and we challenge them through the week to improve their technique.

PEAK 3 is just a half-day camp. The other two are full-day camps. PEAK 3 is a half-day camp, more or less just to kind of introduce kids to competitive swim camps. We do two hours of swimming, we do some dry land training and have a little mental session with them so basically the camp is divided up into those three different segments because I get a lot of different kids coming to my camp. I get kids who are national level swimmers all the way down to kids who just started, so basically from novice to senior.
