Future Stars Swim Camp - Ages 6-12 
*Please note: This is a learn-to-swim camp.*

Dive into a transformative swim camp experience designed to instill confidence and foster a strong foundation in aquatic skills. Our swim camp offers a nurturing environment where campers embark on a journey of self-discovery and mastery of essential swimming techniques. Through a structured program, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of swimming while also enhancing their existing abilities. From mastering the art of floating and refining breathing techniques to perfecting kicks and exploring various strokes, campers receive comprehensive instruction tailored to their individual needs. Engaging in fun pool games, campers seamlessly integrate learning with enjoyment, making significant strides in their swimming proficiency without even realizing it.

Each day at our swim camp is thoughtfully crafted to balance learning, recreation, and socialization. In addition to focused swim sessions, campers enjoy breaks for lunch and recreational play. Whether basking in the sunshine outdoors or engaging in spirited activities in our gymnasiums, campers have ample opportunities to recharge, connect with peers, and foster a sense of camaraderie. With a holistic approach that prioritizes both skill development and holistic well-being, our swim camp promises an enriching experience that leaves a lasting impact on campers' confidence and competence in the water.

Swim

Future Stars has exclusive use of the College pool during our swim hours.

  • The heated pool is located indoors in the physical education complex
  • The pool is maintained by NCC Athletics Department and has a Certified Pool Operator on-site throughout the summer.
  • The pool is inspected by the NY state (Nassau County) Department of Health.

Campers have a recreational swim every day for about 45 minutes. Rising Stars and youngest Multi-Sports campers will also receive instructional swim each day.

Pool safety is taken very seriously, and the pool staff is highly qualified and carries numerous accolades and certifications, including WSI, Lifeguard Management, Lifeguard, First-Aid, and CPR_AED for the Professional Rescuer. We are even a certified lifeguard training site. Our aquatics staff is second to none.

Every Monday, each new camper is swim tested to determine level and ability, with regular buddy checks taken by our pool staff.

In addition to the pool, we also host our 'Future Stars Water Park' with inflatable water slides for campers to enjoy.

Lunch

Registered campers must bring their own lunch at the Nassau Community College site. Please pack lunch in a cooler-type bag, as there is no refrigeration for lunches. 

There are plenty of filtered water fountains throughout campus, in addition to vending machines should your camper wish to purchase a drink during the day.

We are committed to being a 'nut-free' camp, so please make every effort to avoid packing foods that include nut products.
