We're excited to welcome the McKendree Water Polo Camp to the PLEX this weekend. With that comes some limited lane availability in the competition pool. Please make note...

PLEX Swim Summer Camp is so much more than a swim camp—it's where confidence, skills, and a lifelong love of the water begin.

Through daily instruction, campers build strong swimming fundamentals including floating, stroke development, endurance, and water confidence in a fun, supportive environment. Every participant also learns essential water safety skills that can make a difference for a lifetime.

But that's just the beginning.

Each week introduces exciting new aquatic challenges designed to expand skills, spark curiosity, and expose campers to future opportunities in aquatic sports. Campers may explore diving, splash ball (a precursor to water polo), relay competitions, and even triathlon-inspired training activities.

Who knows? The next Olympian, collegiate swimmer, elite triathlete, diving champion, or water polo standout may be taking their first strokes right here at The PLEX. Our goal is to help every child discover their potential, build confidence, and create memories that last long after summer ends.

Because every great aquatic athlete starts somewhere—and for many, that journey begins at PLEX Swim Summer Camp.
