The Harvard Assistant coaches guide the daily activities of the Competitive, Young Competitive and Novice Camps. Click for more information on our staff.
The Technique Swim Camp rents facilities from Harvard University and Northeastern University, but is neither sponsored by, nor controlled by those institutions. The Technique Swim Camp is not responsible for lost equipment or personal belongings. This camp complies with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (105CMR430-00) and is licensed by the Boston Department of Public Health. Camps located at Harvard University use Harvard's Blodgett Pool. Camps located at Northeastern University use Northeastern's Barletta Natatorium. Click here for directions to the pools.

My son is 7. He joined Stephanie's camp -- this year (2013) the camp is divided into two camps, coach Stephanie's and coach Tim's. The FAQ reads -- "Q. Do you videotape? A. Swimmers watch themselves on above or underwater video at least once a day depending on their age and goals." During the 5 days, my son was shown above-water video once, and upon our strong request, shown under-water video once on the fourth day. My son said only the older kids got to watch their underwater videos and got individualized instructions. For his group, it's just drills. On fourth day my husband actually asked Stephanie about this and she said everything was good and every kid was taken care of. Overall, I don't think my son get what the swimming camp advertises it to be. My son has great endurance already. We had hoped for him to improve on skills thro Comment on : 11 July, 2013
