Camp Goals

Campers will learn training and technique methods developed by the Luther swimming team and Coach Lance Huber. While divided into sprint, mid-distance, and distance groups, campers will participate in workouts used by the Luther swimming team. Other areas covered will be dry-land training, nutrition for swimmers, and race preparation through the use of psychological skills (mental imagery). All campers will have significant opportunities for technical and cardiovascular growth. Camp staff will also use underwater video for monitoring and correcting swim strokes rather than working only on drills and technique. Elite camp will be developed for the campers to get an advanced boost to their training.

Campers’ Abilities

Campers must have experience swimming all four competitive strokes (backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle). A minimum of three years of competitive swimming (USS, YMCA, and/or high school) is required.  Questions about ability for the elite camp should be directed to Coach Huber.

Tentative Schedule

Housing and Meals

Campers live in a comfortable, air-conditioned residence hall on the Luther campus and eat in the Dahl Centennial Union dining hall. College athletes serve as camps counselors and provide full supervision and help direct all camp activities. Medical services for campers are available through local clinics, as well as the emergency room at the Winneshiek Medical Center. Individual campers are responsible for any medication, and hospital and physician fees.

Luther College Sports Facilities

Regents Center indoor facilities include six tennis courts; a six-lane, 200-meter track; six full-sized basketball courts; 25-yard, six-lane swimming pool; locker, training, and equipment rooms. The Legends Fitness for Life Center offers a strength and fitness facility with its own climbing wall. The outdoor facilities include 12 tennis courts, a cross country race course, fitness trails, and an all-weather track, which was installed in the fall of 2009.
