Full day camps run from 9:00am - 4:00pm and include two water sessions per day.  Half day camps (available for all sessions) run from 9:00am - 12:30pm and include one water session.

Minimum stadards apply. Full day campers should have at least one Swim BC 'AA' time standard while Half Day campers should have at lease one Swim BC 'A' time standard. These standards are a guideline for you to see if these camps would be appropriate for you. Our camps are not a "learn to swim" program but are rather a "learn to swim faster" program.

Tom Johnson Swim Camps are a camp with a purpose — to help swimmers achieve heights they could not achieve had they not come to camp here. We have a four-part plan to make that purpose a reality.

THE PHYSICAL:

We have a complete program of training to help every swimmer develop the necessary physical conditioning to be successful. Training facilities are first class, using the UBC Aquatic Centre’s outdoor Empire Pool, UBC indoor pool.

Our strength training facilities include all types of programs from free weights, surgical tubing, and swim benches. Two water workouts are held each day as well as related dryland workouts. Swimmers are able to experience the latest training methods by some of the finest coaches in the world today.

THE TECHNICAL:

At Tom Johnson Swim Camps, we feel that the technical aspects of stroke mechanics must come before anything else. Swimmers are instructed in proper stroke techniques, starts and turns by our coaching staff and counselors. Coaches may use stroke technique films and classroom activities to help instruct the participating swimmers.

THE MENTAL:

Tom Johnson Swim Camps are dedicated to helping each swimmer develop a positive mental attitude. We help swimmers try harder to do their very best and develop their talents. They understand that what they get out of swimming is in direct proportion to what they put into it. Classroom sessions focusing on mental preparation will help each camper develop the ability to prepare for meets and training sessions.

THE SOCIAL:

Learning to get along with others is a must for every successful swimmer today. Training, competing and playing with a close group of swimmers and coaches will contribute greatly to developing the total swimmer. Friendships made at Tom Johnson Swim Camps last a lifetime. Our campers all become a part of one big swim camp family. We want our campers to wear a smile while they are here and when they leave.
