ARETE SWIM CAMP

Our Background & Philosophy

       The word "ARETE" is an ancient Greek word that means "champion" or "achievement everlasting. In 2022, the ARETE Swim Camp begins its twenty-fourth year of serving children and families through the sport of competitive swimming. The Camp is the creation of three-time USA National Team coach, seven-time national championship team coach, four-time Big East Coach of the Year, and author, Coach Chuck Warner. 

       Long ago Coach Warner asked himself, "If people say that success in sport is 90% mental and 10% physical, why do they spend 90% on the 10% and in a lot of cases 0 on the 90%?" At the ARETE Swim Camp, we take the Greek approach of developing mind, body, and spirit.
