It’s time for our annual swim camp! In this one week camp, we focus on helping kids with chronic or complex medical conditions become safer and more confident in the water. Camp is structured to include group-based practice every day for a week. Sessions are 45 minutes long and run from early morning through midday, Monday through Friday.
Camp will be June 22-26 at The Clermont County YMCA.
At all times, swimmers must be accompanied by a spotter. We will support 42 swimmers in swim camp this year, which means that over the course of camp week, we’ll need to fill hundreds of volunteer slots. This is why we need you!
Volunteers will be asked to:
- attend a volunteer orientation session on spotting on 6/21
- physically assist participants who are learning to swim
Note: Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age.
Volunteers will be supported by licensed physical or occupational therapists from CCHMC, the be.well swim team including staff who will lead the lessons in the water each day, and a be.well administration team. Rest assured: you will be well supported in your volunteer role!

Swimming is a most basic childhood right.
Let’s work together and make sure it belongs to everyone.
