NEW! Faster Freestyle Swim Camp near Plymouth, Massachusetts, lead by Hall of Fame swimmer and coach Karlyn Pipes.
This one-of-a-kind swim camp offers an exceptional opportunity for swimmers of all levels—whether you’re just starting out or are already advanced—to receive personalized coaching focused on enhancing your technique, boosting your speed, and building endurance.
Participants will have the chance to swim in a variety of beautiful settings, including pools, serene ponds, and the scenic White Horse Beach in Manomet, MA. You’ll train alongside fellow swim enthusiasts and enjoy open water sessions during the warm late summer days, all while avoiding the typical Labor Day crowds.
The camp begins at noon on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, in Duxbury, MA, and concludes midday on Sunday, September 7th, 2025, with a memorable final open water swim. Due to the personalized nature of the training, space is limited to only 10 swimmers, ensuring focused attention for every participant.
There are only THREE spots open, so if you are at all interested please email Karlyn soon!
