NC Swim Camp
Intro: Join Coach Bobby Guntoro (Head Coach UNCW Swim Team, USA National Team Staff, former Associate Head Coach at NC State) and Coach Trent Hayden (President Cape Fear Triathlon Club, USAT Triathlon Level 1, Youth and Junior Coach) for an open water swim clinic at world famous vacationland Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina!
Camp Overview: Typical Swim camps can usually be separated into two types: Open water or Pool. The North Carolina Open Water Swim Technique Camps will be held in both the open water at Wrightsville Beach and the 8-lane pool at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington located only 10 minutes away. Athletes will learn how to take the swim technique from the pool and apply it directly to the race environment in the open water. In addition, Wrightsville Beach is one of the most unique open water swim environments in the entire United States. Athletes will experience swimming in the open ocean, tidal rivers (location of Ironman North Carolina 70.3), and back bays all directly adjacent to the beach! Back at the UNCW pool, athletes will each be recorded with specific technique instruction catering to the athlete's needs.
