FAQ — Maximum Velocity Swimming

Beginner Classes are designed for those who have little experience in the water and are looking to learn basic water skills such as blowing bubbles, floating on front and back, being comfortable putting whole face in water, and learning to swim on their own
We do ask children in the beginner class to put their face in the water, and work on complete head submersion
Intermediate classes will be held in our diving well (8-17 feet deep) and are designed to progress ones swimming ability and prepare them for swim team. Depending on skill level we will work on all four strokes, flip turns, and dives. Participants must be comfortable in the water and can swim on their front with face in water unassisted

Our family clinics allow for up to four children in the same time slot, regardless of ability
The number of instructors provided depends on the number of children and ability
To schedule a family private clinic, email maximumvelocityswimming@gmail.com

Our goal is for your child to have the same instructor for the duration of the sessions
Should an instructor have an extenuating circumstance, we will provide another instructor for any private, family private, or semi-private group clinics

As many of our clinics run back to back, we will not extend the length of any one session

For semi-private lessons, if you cancel before the clinic start date, you will receive a full refund
For semi-private lessons, no refund will be provided past the clinic start date
For private and family private clinics, we ask that you let us know ASAP of any cancellations, and we will reschedule

Maximum Velocity offers two enrollment options - resident and commuter. A resident camper (also called "overnight" camper) stays on campus in the residence halls on Liberty University's campus. The resident camper fee includes all instruction, housing, and meals. A commuter camper (also called a "day" camper) commutes between home and camp each day. The commuter camper fee includes all instruction and two meals (lunch and dinner).

NCAA rules prohibit us from offering scholarships; however, we do offer a sibling discount for registering more than one child from same family. A 10% discount will be applied per child when checking out.

If you child needs to leave camp early for any reason, the Camp Director (Jessica Barnes) must be notified, in writing. No camper shall be released without consent from a Parent/Guardian.

Safety is our first priority and is particularly important in and around the residence halls. Attendance is taken at the beginning of each session and at bed check time. Camp directors assign camp staff personnel to actively and directly supervise campers. Even when there is no formal instruction taking place, campers are briefed thoroughly to know where to go and who to see should they need assistance. All residence doors are locked twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Coaches and camp counselors consist of Liberty University Swimming and Diving Staff and current/former Liberty University student-athletes who have coaches and competed at the elite level of Division I swimmer. Maximum Velocity Swimming also employs coaches from other colleges, who have experience coaching at the college or club level.
Each program provides trained counselors (also considered to be Authorized Adults) who must be at least 18 years of age. A staff member who is at least 21 years of age is also accessible to campers.

No refund will be given for cancellations occurring 7 days prior to the beginning of camp
All other cancellations will receive a refund minus the 100 dollar non-refundable deposit
