Skilz Camp - Springfield, MO

Hi everyone,

We have some news to report. Coach Jimmy will be moving on at the end of this season. But he is passing over this page to the new Drury Swim Coach! We will invite him in due course.

Furthermore, as Jimmy is moving on and may not be able to host any more large camps, Drury University Swim is hosting a fundraiser camp this weekend. This should be a great camp with lots of athlete coach's on deck (in and out of the water)!!

Please see the flyer attached. If any coach is interested in sending a party of 5 or more please message me!

Hi everyone,

!!! UNDERWATER CAMERA SWIM CAMP !!!

We are offering this camp primarily for those swimmers seeking an extra edge in coaching and technical development that most other facilities cannot offer. The underwater camera provides a new perspective to the athlete and is a game changer for athletes that are visual learners especially.

This camp will include:
- Underwater camera filming (with coach Jimmy's analysis) of up to 2 (maybe 3) strokes. All videos will be sent to the parents post camp.
- Starts, focussing on clean entry and minimising drag (underwater camera analysis).
- Turns (open, closed and IM).
- Relay takeovers (optional on day)

We are limiting this camp to 10 spots as we want to ensure the highest quality and time spent with each athlete. There will be 2 national level athletes on deck for coaching and demonstrations.

Date: February 2nd 2-4pm
Fee: $100
Address: Drury University Swimming Pool

Please reach out directly if you have any questions:
