YOUR TECHNIQUE DEEP DIVE.
Our advanced Training Camp is the next level for all swimmers and triathletes who already have a solid technical foundation and now want to work on their speed. This isn't about mindlessly counting tiles, but about physiological development and targeted performance management. "Dein Schwimmcoach" Johann Ackermann will push you to your limits: With sports science precision and honest feedback, we'll optimize your performance under load.
This week, the focus is on performance and speed. Ideal for advanced swimmers, graduates of our advanced workshops, or ambitious athletes who want to stabilize their technique while getting faster. You'll learn how to individually manage your performance, swim intervals with clear intensity targets, and develop your personal strategy to gain time in races. The goal is to increase your load tolerance and define your individual performance parameters for the upcoming season.

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.

Technique under load
The goal is to maintain clean technique even when your heart rate climbs. We stabilise your body position and your catch under pressure.
-
Individual analysis
Based on your test results, we'll develop strategies to make you faster and help you apply your technique in the race.
-
Athletic and Strength Training

-
HHT contact person by your side
As always, our experienced HHT-Guides and on-site Crew will guide you through the entire training week.

Physiological development & pace
We're putting the spotlight on performance management. Through CSS (Critical Swim Speed) and frequency tests, we'll pinpoint your current fitness level for precise training control.
-
Guided interval training
The sessions are intense and structured. At approx. 3 km per hour, we swim significantly more meters and work with a higher training load.
-
Video analysis
Even in the build-up Training Camp, we use optional video recordings to analyze the execution of your technique at speed in detail.
-
Lectures and expert knowledge
The theory units are dedicated to training planning, the physiology of swimming, and optimal race strategy.

A TYPICAL
DAY
A typical day in the build-up camp is challenging, structured, and highly effective. We work hard, but always smart.
The morning kicks off with the main session in the pool. Here, we tackle intensive intervals or specific performance tests. It's all about putting power into the water and precisely controlling your technique, even when fatigued. Afternoons are for tactical or supplementary work. We head to the sea for open water sprints, complete a strength & conditioning session for power development, or use a second pool session for technical finetuning at moderate intensity.
Evenings are for analysis. We discuss data from your CSS tests, analyze video footage under load, or delve deep into training theory in expert lectures. You'll not only learn that you've gotten faster, but also why.
Every day is a performance boost. Every session is a step towards your new PB.

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.
