IMX Camp 2017 – What A Great Weekend!!
The 2017 NC Swimming IMX Camp just wrapped up at the GAC in Greensboro, NC, and it was one of the most successful yet! We had 120 swimmers, ages 11 to 13, attend the camp from teams all across North Carolina. Swimmers qualified for the camp by having one of the top 20 male or female IMX scores in their age from the 2016 long course season.
We had 12 coaches from across North Carolina leading the camp.

Swimmers arrived Saturday morning and were actively engaged in numerous water sessions, dryland, yoga and team building activities. One of the highlights of the weekend was having former NCS Swimmers Faith Johnson (University of Tennessee) and Natalie Labonge (NC State University) run a clinic on starts with the swimmers, as well as talk with them at dinner about what swimming has meant to them. They also discussed their journey through swimming from age group to college as well as answered swimmer’s questions.
The camp wrapped up on Sunday at 12:15 after the completion of a mock meet and review with the swimmers and coaches. It was a great weekend and helped generate even more ideas for next year!! Keep swimming fast and we hope to see you there next year!!
