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.
More information TBA
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.
Swim Levels
All campers will be assessed by our lifeguards on their first day in the pool, and you can visit campwisela.org/aquatics for more information.
Non-Swimmer: For campers whose parents prefer they do not swim or who are only comfortable remaining in the shallow/kiddie pool area with close supervision.
Beginner: For campers who are just learning to swim, may need flotation support, and are not yet able to swim independently across the pool.
Intermediate: For campers who can swim independently and are comfortable in deeper water but are still building strength, endurance, and stroke technique.
Advanced: For strong, confident swimmers who can swim multiple strokes across the pool without assistance and are fully comfortable in deep water.
