Swimming

It’s hard to envision a more breathtaking and picturesque waterfront setting than the one at Vega! From our central campus, you’ll immediately understand why so many girls cherish their time swimming at our waterfront. Whether you’re a novice swimmer seeking a helping hand to ease into the water or an advanced young swimmer with aspirations of competitive swimming, Vega offers it all. Echo Lake’s exceptional cleanliness and its inviting temperature, which peaks just above 80 degrees, make the experience even more delightful.

For new swimmers, our wood-bottom dock section provides a safe and welcoming space, with dedicated Red Cross Certified lifeguard instructors ensuring your safety every step of the way. If you’re already an experienced swimmer, our starting blocks and waveless lanes offer the ideal environment for your continued progress. And for those eager to partake in competitive swimming, our Swim Team is open to all ages and abilities, with no tryouts required. Joining the Swim Team promotes physical activity, sportsmanship, proper stroke development, and team spirit. Swim Team members and lap swimmers are encouraged to use goggles and swim caps.

The excitement doesn’t end there when it comes to swimming at Vega. Our expansive sandy beach is perfect for building sandcastles and playing along the shore. During free swim, campers can have a blast at our extensive Aquaglide inflatable park. And for those seeking the thrill of a lifetime, you can harness up and take a thrilling ride down our zipline, plunging right into the lake—a beloved Vega tradition that you’re sure to love!
