    The difference

    Like nothing they have ever experienced.

    Every camp has pool time. Almost none has these three .. and they are exactly why 28 of 35 left with a PB.

    Like nothing they’ve experienced. Four reasons.

    Every camp has pool time. Almost none has these four .. and they are exactly why 28 out of 35 left with a PB.

    01

    The flume channel

    A hydrodynamic flume .. a treadmill for swimmers, filmed above and under water. Day 3, every Elite swimmer, reviewed 1:1 the same day, frame by frame. From then on every coach on deck knows exactly what to fix. Off a 200 m short course, turns alone are worth about 4 seconds.

    Most camps: a coach’s eye from the deck. Swimpros: your swimmer’s own underwater footage, frame by frame.

    02

    Confidence sessions

    Daily, run by David. Built on what he learned from Michael Phelps’ sports psychologist while swimming for the University of Virginia .. the method that took him from choking at nationals to the Olympics. Race-day nerves become speed.

    Most camps: “swim more, get faster”. Swimpros: the mental game trained every day, like a stroke.

    Where it comes from: a full year with Michael Phelps’ sports psychologist at the University of Virginia. Twelve months later David swam a Swiss record at the London Games.

    Spine and ankles, every day. A stiff swimmer moves through the water like a wooden board .. a mobile one moves like a dolphin. Ten days of targeted mobility and the kick, the streamline and the turns change.

    Most camps: a quick stretch after the set. Swimpros: spine and ankle mobility as its own daily session.

    Your swimmer is on the blocks.

    Look at what every kid is up against. A phone that never runs out of videos. Likes on tap. A world where nothing has to be hard, or wait.

    And then there’s your swimmer. An alarm before sunrise. Cold water in the dark. Months of work for a few tenths on a scoreboard.

    That isn’t a hobby. It’s the rarest education a kid can get today.

    The times fade. Who they became chasing them stays for life.

    At Swimpros we turn all of it up to full volume for 10 days: two sessions a day next to swimmers from 25+ countries, a confidence session every day so pressure turns into speed. They come home with a PB .. and a kid who knows they can do hard things.

    Every camp includes the Swimpros kit: tee, tank and a racing cap with your swimmer’s name on it. Not a shop. Not an upsell. Theirs to keep. The heavyweight hoodie is the one thing you cannot get on a first camp. It is our gift when a swimmer comes back for a second.

    The Camp Lasts 10 Days. The Game Plan Runs The Next 90.

    From day one, every coach on deck logs what they see about your swimmer .. every start, every turn, every wobble in confidence before a hard set. On the final day it becomes one document with your swimmer’s name on it: the Swimpros Game Plan.

    A sample Game Plan .. illustrative swimmer and numbers.

    Technique

    What we fixed at camp, in numbers .. and the exact drills to keep it, in priority order for their club coach.

    Mindset

    How your swimmer handles pressure, and the race-day routine we built with them .. so it travels to every meet.

    Mobility

    The specific restrictions costing them time, and the 10-minute daily routine that unlocks them.

    Elite swimmers get their flume channel video analysis attached, frame by frame .. so the family can see exactly what the plan is fixing. Junior swimmers get the same Game Plan, written for parents of 8–12s.

    It’s why the 90-day guarantee works. The PB doesn’t depend on the last day of camp going well .. it depends on the plan being followed. And every swimmer goes home holding it.

    Non-residential .. your swimmer stays with you

    Junior camp is non-residential. You stay together at nearby accommodation, drop off and pick up around each session, and evenings are family time. World-class training by day, your own kid at your side by night .. with a Tenerife holiday wrapped around it.

    Olympian Coaching By Day. Back With You Every Night.

    Junior camp is non-residential, so you stay close for the whole camp. Your swimmer trains with Olympian coaches morning and afternoon .. the same coaches, the same confidence work and the same Game Plan as the Elite camp, built for 8 to 12 year olds .. and comes back to you in between and every evening.

    They come back faster. You watch it happen. Dinner together every night to hear what clicked in the water that day, one afternoon off mid-camp, and Tenerife around the rest of it.

    Same programme, junior-sized

    The Flume Channel · Elite camps

    Filmed Early In Camp. Fixed For The Rest Of It.

    In the first days of camp, every Elite swimmer swims in the hydrodynamic flume channel .. a treadmill for swimmers, filmed above and under water. The 1:1 video review happens the same day: your swimmer sees, frame by frame, exactly what’s adding tenths to every lap. From that moment, every coach on deck knows precisely what to work on with them .. for the entire rest of camp.

    The phone policy · Elite camps

    Day one, Tenerife. Every phone in camp, on one towel.

    📵Every Phone In Camp. One Towel.

    That photo is not a stunt. It is the first hour of every Swimpros elite camp. Phones, tablets and gaming devices go in the bag for the training day and for the night .. and every evening after dinner they get them back to call home, message friends, do whatever they want.

    It is not about cutting them off from the world. It is about giving them ten days where the only things competing for their attention are the water, the coaches, and the thirty other swimmers standing next to them.

    The nights are the training

    Two sessions a day only pay off if the night works. A phone in the room pushes sleep later and eats into the deep sleep where the body actually absorbs the work. Take it out of the room and you get ten real nights of recovery in a row .. most swimmers have not had that in months.

    Tenths live in attention

    What separates swimmers at this level is what they notice .. the catch, the wall, the coach's one sentence between sets. A phone on the deck resets that focus every single time it lights up. Ten days without it and they start seeing their own swimming differently.

    They come home social

    This is the one parents write to us about. Five days without screens is enough to measurably improve how kids read faces and tone of voice. Ours get ten, with thirty teammates, at the age it matters most.

    Uhls et al., UCLA, 2014

    And the ways out, so you are never locked out

    • Phones back every evening after dinner, every day of camp
    • Schoolwork or a deadline? They keep their phone. Just tell us
    • Coaches carry their phones 24/7 .. call any time, day or night
    • If anything is off, you hear it from us first, straight away
    parent FAQ

    Every Question Parents Actually Ask Us.

    what happens after i message you on whatsapp?+
    you get a real reply, usually within 10 minutes in business hours .. camp dates, the programme, and an honest read on which camp actually fits your swimmer. then a short Swimmer Assessment call with David, not a pitch. we review every swimmer personally before confirming a spot, because camps are invite-only. most parents call it the most useful 15 minutes they spent before camp.
    how much does a camp cost?+
    we don’t publish a price, and we don’t send one over text .. we go through it with you on a short Swimmer Assessment call with David. two honest reasons: every package is built around the swimmer (training load, accommodation, support level), so a number before we know them is meaningless. and we only take swimmers we’re confident we can actually help, so the call is a fit check both ways. you’ll leave it knowing what would move the needle for your swimmer whether or not you book. there’s also a guarantee on the camp, and nobody has claimed it in 4 years.
    will my kid be supervised the whole time?+
    yes. on the elite camps, the residential option is 24/7 .. coach in the water every session, staff with the group at the pool and at meals, and the coaches living in the same athletes-only residence as the swimmers. lights out enforced. they’re never alone.

    choose the non-residential option instead and your swimmer is with the coaches from drop-off to pick-up for every session, and back with you in between.

    note on junior camps (ages 8–12): the junior camp is non-residential. young swimmers stay with their parents at nearby accommodation (we send hotel recommendations). parents can drop off and pick up daily. this gives the younger kids the full camp experience while staying close to family.
    is my swimmer the right level for this?+
    these are performance camps for competitive swimmers who train year-round and race .. not learn-to-swim. the elite & performance camps run ages 13–20; the junior camp is ages 8–12. swimmers train in small groups matched by age and level, and David personally reviews every swimmer before confirming a spot .. so the group is always the right fit.

    not sure if your kid is ready? tell us their events and best times on the call and we’ll give you a straight answer.
    what if my swimmer is the youngest or shyest one there?+
    the most common concern - and the easiest to answer. every swimmer is paired by age before arrival. they meet the group on a Zoom call before camp even starts, so familiar faces are already there on day one.

    our number one priority is that every swimmer feels comfortable, is having fun, and is genuinely enjoying themselves. because when they do, they learn faster - and that’s a win-win for everyone.

    by day 2 they don’t want to go home. one big team. some of these kids have been coming back year after year and made some of their closest friends here.
    what language is everything coached in?+
    English. all sessions, all coaching, all communication. we’ve had swimmers from 13 countries at a single camp, and English works for everyone.

    if a swimmer needs a moment in their own language, our coaches can switch to German, French, or Italian for a private fix or a one-on-one conversation.
    can i call or text my kid during the 10 days?+
    yes. phones at breakfast, after dinner, before lights out. you also get a daily WhatsApp from David: photo + 1-line update every evening, so you see them whether they call or not.
    what if they get sick or injured?+
    partner clinic 8 minutes from the venue in both Tenerife and Mallorca. english-speaking doctors. travel insurance is mandatory. we handle the logistics, you get the call.
    can i come too? can i sit poolside?+
    parents can visit on arrival day and the final-day showcase. mid-camp we keep it kid-only.. the bonding is the point. if you want to be on the island anyway, we’ll send you hotel ideas in Mallorca + Tenerife.
    is it all training, or do they actually have fun?+
    it’s a camp, not a boot camp. two pool sessions a day, yes .. and beach afternoons, sunset BBQs, team movie nights and the dolphin boat trip. kids arrive shy and leave with a group chat that lasts years. hard work and good times live in the same 24 hours.
    what’s actually included? what do we need to bring?+
    honestly? it’s easier to say what’s NOT included. the only thing missing is flights. everything else is taken care of.

    2 elite pool sessions per day with Olympian coaches in the water every set

    24/7 supervision & pastoral care .. coach or staff member at all times, from pool to dinner to lights out
    not included: flights. that’s it. book direct from your home airport and it’s usually cheaper anyway .. we’ll help you figure out the best option.
    how do i secure a spot? what’s the process?+
    once we’ve had a quick call to confirm the right camp fit for your swimmer, we’ll send you everything to lock in the spot .. deposit amount, balance schedule, and payment options.
