Camp staff, as well as current PURDUE swimmers, will stay in the dorms with all campers.

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO ATTEND BLACK AND GOLD SWIM CAMP?
We have swimmers of all ages attend swim camp at Purdue. Most boys and girls in swim camp range in age from 9 to 18 years old. It is up to the parents and swimmer to decide if he or she is ready for the challenge. The campers will have the responsibility of waking up each morning in time to get breakfast and arrive to the pool on time for the first session of each day. The campers stay busy, but also have some independence during some of the downtimes of the day and evening.
How old do I have to be to attend Training Camp at PURDUE?
Training camp participants should be competitive swimmers entering the 7th grade or higher.
