Milorad Čavić Joins Europe's Most Popular Swim Camp (Swimpros News #26)

This week's Swimpros News is a big one. We finally got to announce the surprise we'd been sitting on for weeks: a world record holder is coaching at both of our Tenerife camps this summer. If your swimmer is chasing personal bests, this is about as good as it gets. Here's the full update — watch it below, or read on. 👇

🏅 Milorad Čavić is coaching at the Swimpros Tenerife camps

The surprise is Milorad Čavić — and if the name doesn't ring a bell, the moment will. Čavić is the swimmer who touched the wall in the 100m butterfly final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics just one hundredth of a second behind Michael Phelps. A world record holder, an Olympic icon, and — it turns out — someone who genuinely loves coaching kids.

He's joining both Swimpros Performance Accelerator camps in Tenerife this summer, on deck for the full month, alongside fellow champion Peter Mankoč and the rest of our team. For a young competitive swimmer, training next to a world record holder who lives and breathes this sport is the kind of thing that changes how they see themselves in the water.

Swimpros runs the most popular performance swim camp in Europe right now — and this summer your swimmer can train on the same deck as the man who pushed Michael Phelps to 0.01.

📵 The No-Nag Method: screen time down, no war at home

If your competitive swimmer (12+) is glued to the phone, this one's for you. The No-Nag Method is a simple, swimmer-owned way to cut screen time — no confiscating phones, no nagging, no being the bad guy. It comes down to three moves the swimmer runs themselves: clear the lane, sign the line, and track it.

We're running it free inside the Swimpros Skool group, capped at 30 swim families, kicking off the last week of June. The full method (and the support that makes it actually stick) lives in the group. 👇

💊 A free creatine guide for swimmers

We also built a genuinely useful resource: an interactive guide plus PDF on creatine for swimmers, grounded in 20+ peer-reviewed studies on competitive swimming specifically — not running, not triathlon. It answers the questions swim parents actually ask, honestly. It's free in the Skool group until Friday evening, after which it moves into the new premium membership.

⭐ The new €9 premium membership

For families who want to go deeper, there's a new €9/month membership: monthly live Q&As, a nutrition masterclass, a mobility course, camp drills and workouts you can run at home, and a parent confidence course. The free community stays free — the membership is simply the next step for those who want everything.

🧠 One last thing: swim for fun

We closed the episode on something that matters more than any announcement: swimming should be fun. The pressure that builds up around results steals the joy that made your swimmer fall in love with the sport in the first place — and here's the reframe we keep coming back to: failure only really happens when you stop trying.
