with "Your Swim Coach" Johann Ackermann
YOUR TECH DEEP DIVE.
Our Swim Technique Training Camp is an intensive technique block for all swimmers and triathletes who want to systematically build their foundation. This isn't about blindly counting kilometers, but about sports science expertise straight from competitive sports. "Dein Schwimmcoach" Johann Ackermann gets straight to the point: no ego-coaching, just honest, personal feedback in small groups that will improve you long-term.
The first week focuses on the fundamental elements of crawl swimming. Ideal for beginners to ambitious amateur swimmers (including graduates of our Basic Workshops) who want to create a solid foundation for future performance improvements. You'll learn to rethink your training – from water feel and body tension to technical clarity. The goal is to create the basis for future performance gains and thus a sustainable development boost.

A TYPICAL
DAY
A typical day at this Training Camp is all about water, analysis, and targeted input. We don't just jump in; we work with a plan.
Mornings are for the pool. In the first, long session of the day, we lay the groundwork. This is where we focus on your technical foundation, intensive work on new movement patterns, and collecting video footage for later analysis. After lunch, things get specific. Depending on the day's focus, we'll head to open water for a second session, build essential power in the gym, or dive into targeted technique drills with a partner in the pool.
Evenings are for your mind. Here, we'll analyze video footage as a group or discuss the theory behind the practice in a technique lecture. It's all about understanding why you do what you do.
Every day is a deep dive. Every session is a step forward.

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.
