Please note that we require a parent or guardian to check-in with campers on Monday, the first day of camp.

The first day of camp can be hard for the little ones; however, we ask that you drop them off at the check-in desk and let our staff take your swimmer to the pool deck. We find this makes the transition a little easier!

We will ask that parents or guardians have a photo ID for pick-up. If you would like to add someone to your camper’s authorized pick-up list, please email welcome@swimmingsimply.com.

Please try to avoid late drop off and early pick up. We charge a $1 per minute late fee after noon. If you need to pick up your camper during the camp day, please call (720) 557-1432.

What we provide:

• Swim Cap
• Kickboard

What to bring:

• Warm Clothes: Kids are often chilly once they get out of the pool. Packing a jacket and sweatpants helps keep them warm when we make crafts or go outside. 
• Shoes - NOT flip flops or sandals: Kids will participate in outside activities like relay races. Flip flops and sandals aren’t great to run around in and can be a hazard during these activities. Shoes with a heel strap (like Crocs) are acceptable.
• Water Bottle: We recommend all campers come to camp each day with a water bottle.
• Food: Please pack your camper two large healthy snacks and a filled-water bottle.  Please note that campers may not share food due to health and safety restrictions. Food will not be refrigerated.  Also note that swimmers get VERY hungry during this camp. Overpack for food!
• Towel: Campers need to bring two good towels!  
• Backpack: Campers’ belongings will stay with them throughout the day, and they’ll be bringing any projects home with them, so send them with their backpack to store their water bottle, lunch, and creations.
• Goggles:  Please make sure your camper has at least one pair of goggles that fit well and are comfortable to your swimmer. Do NOT bring snorkeling goggles.
• Fins/Flippers: Your swimmer needs flippers/fins. Please purchase some that are similar to Finis or Speedo (can be found on Amazon or Swim Outlet) and NOT fins that are for scuba or snorkeling. We will have a few extras for loaners if needed!
• Epipens/Inhaler: If your child requires an EpiPen/Inhaler, please label it with their name and bring it to camp on Monday morning. All of our staff members are trained on how to administer an EpiPen in the event of an emergency. You’re also welcome to call to talk through any concerns or specific instructions you may have.  Also, please send us the appropriate form, also sent to you via email.
