The Best Darn Swim Camp features the World Famous “Horse Whisperer” of Swimming, Milt Nelms.  Mr. Nelms got his nickname from an Australian newspaper for his work with swimmers around the globe.  This year’s camps will begin in May and run into June.  Our camp sites will be in 4 different states, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota and Minnesota.

Best Darn Swim Camp is about learning how to use healthier and more natural movements to swim faster and with more power and with more control. 

We expect swimmers to be prepared for a physical and mental commitment to learning, so that they can learn why we do the exercises that we do, and how to do those exercises properly. Our base platform of exercises on land, in the water, and lecture sessions is a minimum of 14 hours for each camp. We urge swimmers to bring their coach with them.

Dana Vollmer comments on Milt Nelms:
“I will see Milt at ANY opportunity. I frequently travel to Australia to get his help and advice, for my own swimming. The chance to see him for 12 hours at the price of these camps makes this the best value in the world of swimming.” Dana Vollmer is an USA Olympian, World Champion, former NCAA Women’s Swimmer of the Year and America Record Holder.

Quotes by head a head Olympic Coach of a major swimming nation:

Quote by club and high school coaches:
“Milt's camp was an inspiration to me to become a better coach and to think outside the box on how to make swimmers swim faster. The information he came with was so outstanding and has made me change the way I coach from my age group swimmers to my senior swimmers. It was a great experience!” Dean Hawks, Casper WY

“Milt Nelms is not on the leading edge, he is the leading edge. By the time someone catches on to his work, he is already light years ahead. Most importantly, his passion comes through with every athlete he works with. There is an instant connection and life-long bond. "Nelmsing" is the word!” Rose Milo Snyder, Colorado Springs, CO

“All the swimmers who attended the camp had life time best swims this year, they loved how much they learned and are excited to come to the camp again.” Jeff Steele, West Fargo, ND

“Milt’s innovative approach to swimming and the lessons he teaches have proven to be invaluable in my coaching and my athlete’s success. Being able to hear first- hand from Milt has provided me with new insights and techniques that I have been able to apply daily in my planning of workouts and training plans." Dietrich Lawrence, Arvada, CO
