Beautiful environment, wonderful weather, and a premier swimming facility.
Every year, 24 athletes assemble in St. Petersburg, Florida for a 3 day swim camp designed to prepare triathletes for their first races of the year. The camp also prepares athletes with skills and specific knowledge about their individual strokes. Athletes walk away prepared to continue the good work throughout the rest of the year.
Swimmers return to this camp every year. There is plenty for everyone to learn and practice, build fitness, and become increasingly competitive.
This skills based camp includes:
- All levels instruction
- Individual stroke recommendation on pool deck by expert coaches with decades of experience
- Over 10 hours of swim time and individualized instruction in pool & open water
- Open water practice – starts, exits, turns, pack swimming, & sighting
- Open water swim in deep water
- Dryland (strength) & mobility exercises to support your training
- Video capture & analysis with individualized stroke correction recommendations
- Testing exercises to understand your optimal stroke rates & race pacing
Our philosophy is to meet you where you are today. First timers can expect to come away feeling confident with your ability to race your first event. More experienced swimmers can expect to improve their stroke efficiency. All athletes will get very specific feedback on their stroke to enhance their race performance. Everyone enjoys substantive time to learn and refine their swimming.
