How long has this Camp been held.?
2010 is the fourth year of the NBAC swim camp.

What is the capacity of the camp?
We have set a limit of 50 campers PER WEEK for 2010.

How much time will we have with Michael Phelps?
Michael will be available each week of the Camp.  We expect that he will join us for a pool session as well as a "meet and greet" autograph and picture time.  That's the plan for now, of course it is subject to change, but Michael will be a part of our camp each week.

What if something happens and I can not make the camp?
We will refund all but the $200.00 deposit which is non-refundable if we have received notice from you by May 15.  After May 15, 2010, no refunds will be given unless proof is given of a documented medical condition which precluded participation in the camp.

Does my child have to have competitive swimming experience?
We highly recommend that camp participants have competitive swimming experience.  This is a camp for competitive, year-round swimmers and should not be considered a "learn to swim" program for non competitive, non year round swimmers.
