Masters Swim Camp
August 8-10, 2023
Relax and Unwind...
Leave your car behind and come to Chebeague Island, Maine for a quintessential New England island summer experience. You'll stay at the historic oceanfront Chebeague Island Inn and spend your afternoons exploring the island, golfing, biking, hiking, kayaking, or just relaxing on the lawns reading a book. In the evenings you will enjoy delicious gourmet meals, including a lobster bake at the Inn.
...and get your swim workout!
After a leisurely breakfast, catch the shuttle bus or grab a bike to the pool each morning for a creative swim workout, designed to challenge masters swimmers of all levels. The workouts will focus on fitness and stroke technique and feedback. The camp will be led by Certified USMS Coach Mark Stori, Head Coach at Santa Barbara Masters and Assistant Coach at University of California, Santa Barbara's D1 Swim Program. Each day will offer a 30 minute dryland session and a 1-1.5 hours swim at the CRC pool. Open to 20 participants.
All for $250!
