Camp Wise Aquatics
The Aquatics Department runs a first-class, well-supervised and structured program, operated by trained, certified, and experienced lifeguards and Camp Wise Aquatics Director. All campers are encouraged to swim, and everyone is made to feel comfortable at their swimming level. The pool is also heated to a comfortable 85 degrees.
Iman Alami, Camp Aquatics Director
We are excited to introduce a returning face to run the Camp Wise Aquatics program! Iman brings years of experience teaching hundreds of children how to swim safely across Los Angeles. He is a former swim and water polo coach for both the Men’s and Women’s teams at Milken, where he helped develop strong, resilient athletes—many of whom went on to compete at the collegiate level.
Iman is passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where young children can learn to swim and build confidence in the water, while older students can refine and perfect their technique.
As one of the first graduates of Milken (Class of ’96), Iman returns with a deep-rooted connection to our community and core values. He is thrilled to work with your children—some of whom may be the children of his former students.
What to Bring:
Please bring a bathing suit, towel, water shoes, and sunscreen (and hair band for below shoulder length hair) on all non-field trip days for campers to participate in Swim and Water Play activities
Campers must apply sunscreen to themselves. Sunscreens in a spray or stick form are easily applicable and recommended. Parents of rising Kindergarteners may fill out the Sunscreen Waiver Form in their camper applications.
Grades K-2: Swim time includes free swim, group instructional swim, and pool games. Campers are assessed before they enter the pool and are then grouped in different areas together based on their swimming level. Our younger campers may enjoy the kiddie pool for additional play!
Grades 3-8: Swim time includes free swim and pool games. If campers don't feel like swimming when they get up in the morning, they should still bring their bathing suit with them - they may change their minds! Please note: the swim schedule is subject to change.
