How’s my backstroke look? About 100 children, from ages 7 to 17, spend time at the University’s Blodgett Pool improving their swimming technique at the Technique Swim Camp at Harvard.

Held each summer, the program – which is run by Harvard Head Swimming Coaches Stephanie Wriede and Tim Murphy – offers instructive feedback and underwater videotaping. The swimmers also get tips from former Olympians.
