New Year's Eve Edition with Nico Moritz
YOUR NEW YEAR ON FUERTE.
We combine intensive technique training with an unforgettable end to the year. Under Nico's guidance, we'll dive deep into all aspects of swimming – from body position in the pool to open water orientation. With video analysis, athletic sessions, and workshops on training management, you'll get the perfect tools for your season. We train in small, homogeneous groups, so everyone – regardless of their level – gets maximum input.
And at the same time, we'll see out the year in a unique community – including a gala dinner and party.

TRAINING

Do you have your own coach? It's best to discuss with them in advance which sessions make sense for you and where you'll do your individual training.
-
guided swimming and technique training
The units consist of technique exercises, sessions focusing on breathing, head position, water position, frequency, stroke phase as well as intervals and open water swimming.
-
Stabilization and stretching
Very few people do it on their own at home, right? ;) Of course, core stability, stretching, and exercises with a pull rope and Blackroll are essential.
-
Running training with Running ABC
The New Year's Run with a sea view and the lighthouse run are real highlights of the New Year's Eve camp.
-
Cycling outings
As a change of pace from the pool, you'll also hit the bike in small groups – totally optional, of course.
-
Lectures and Video Analyses
-
The presentations focus on swim theory, crawl technique, and training tools.
-
The pool videos will be watched and discussed in small groups.
-
reserved pool lanes
Lanes are divided by performance level. This way, you'll share your lane with a small group of Participants and won't be disturbed by other pool users.

HHT contact person at your side
Besides Nico as Head Coach, our HHT Guides and someone from the HHT Crew are always on-site.

A TYPICAL
DAY
The New Year's Eve camp is the perfect blend of focused work and good cheer. We have a clear plan to take your swimming to the next level, and there's plenty of fun to be had along the way.
The day starts actively, often with a running ABC or an open water session in the Atlantic to wake you up. Then it's off to the pool, where we focus on the day's technical aspects. From basic video analysis to targeted drills for your breathing or stroke phase – each session has a clear focus.
In the afternoon, you'll either return to the water to consolidate what you've learned or get on your bike to explore the island with a basic training session. The training block will be supplemented by targeted stability and athletics sessions on land.
After training comes the exchange. New input is available at a shared dinner or in a specialist presentation on topics such as training management. And of course, the closer New Year's Eve approaches, the more anticipation of the new year becomes part of the program.
A technology update every day. And an unforgettable New Year's Eve.

Nico Moritz – swimming expert, lecturer and motivator
Nico brings the experience of 16 Ironman finishes and ten national swimming titles to the table – but don't worry, in camp it's not about records, it's about you.

Whether you're just getting started with freestyle or going after a PB: Nico finds the right lever for every level.
With a healthy dose of humour and deep sports-science know-how, he shows you how to glide through the water more efficiently. His goal for camp: that you don't just swim faster, but feel better doing it.
His credo: "Training quality beats training volume!"

Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura zählt zu den besten Adressen für Triathlon-Trainingslager. Die „Insel des ewigen Sommers“ bietet ganzjährig stabile Wetterverhältnisse, milde Temperaturen und Trainingsbedingungen, die für alle Leistungsstufen funktionieren – vom motivierten Einsteiger bis zur erfahrenen Langdistanz-Athletin.
Das wellige Profil, der verlässliche Wind und die weitläufigen Straßen machen die Insel zum idealen Ort für intensive Radeinheiten, strukturiertes Lauftraining und effektives Schwimmen. Hier wird unter realen Bedingungen trainiert: klar, direkt und wirkungsvoll.
Was Fuerteventura besonders macht, ist die Community. Du teilst die Trainingsstrecken mit ambitionierten Agegroupern und Profis, findest Anschluss, Austausch und Motivation und wirst Teil einer Szene, in der Triathlon gelebt wird.
Ob Grundlagenphase, Technikfokus oder gezielter Formaufbau: Wer auf Fuerteventura trainiert, nutzt ein Umfeld, das fordert und fördert – Tag für Tag.
