USSC is proud to offer the Nike Swim Camp at Texas Woman's University again in 2010. Located just North of Dallas/Fort Worth in Denton, TWU is a great location to host this camp. Campers train daily in TWU's state of the art pool and reside in the dormitories located on campus.

Directing the camp is University of North Texas Head Swim Coach, Joe Dykstra. In just three seasons at UNT, Coach Dykstra has quickly turned the Mean Green swimming and diving team into a major contender in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2008-09, Dykstra led North Texas to its highest conference finish in program history and a final ranking of No. 14 in the mid-major poll. Dykstra was awarded the 2008 Sun Belt Conference Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year and the Greater Denton Sports Commission North Texas Coach of the Year following the 2007-08 season.

Prior to North Texas, the former Husky standout and team captain spent six years as an assistant at the University of Washington, the last two as associate head coach. Dykstra coached the team’s breaststrokers and distance swimmers, and served as the team’s recruiting coordinator. He coached five Washington school record holders, five NCAA qualifiers, two All-Americans, one academic All-American, one Pac-10 champion and conference record holder and more than a dozen U.S. National Championship competitors.

A four-year letterwinner at Washington from 1994-98, Dykstra left the program ranked among the Huskies all-time top 10 swimmers in five events. He swam career-best times of 1:50.08 in the 200 IM and 1:50.11 in the 200 butterfly at the 1997 Pac-10 Championships and 3:56.22 in the 400 IM at the 1998 Pac-10 Championships.Dykstra was recognized numerous times by the Huskies for his team leadership and athletic accomplishments, including Most Valuable Rookie (1994-95), Most Improved (1995-96), Most Inspirational (1995-96 & 1996-97) and Total-Student Athlete (1997-98). Dykstra was also named to the Pac-10 All-Academic second team as a senior.
