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; it's about sports science expertise straight from elite sports. "Your Swim Coach" 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. Perfect for beginners to ambitious amateur swimmers (including graduates of our Basic Workshops) who want to create a solid foundation for future performance gains. You'll learn to rethink your training – from water feel and body tension to technical clarity. The goal is to build the foundation for future performance increases and thus create a lasting boost in development.

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 material for later analysis. After lunch, things get specific. Depending on the day's theme, we'll head to open water for a second session, build essential power in the gym, or dedicate ourselves to 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 workshop. It's all about understanding why you do what you do.

Lanzarote
Lanzarote is more than a training destination. The island is a testing ground for body and mind, offering real conditions: wind, heat, elevation. That's exactly why so many ambitious athletes come here — to work with focus, sharpen technique and endurance, and feel the raw energy of this volcanic island.
On perfectly surfaced roads, through lava fields and serpentine climbs, the cycling routes take you through Timanfaya National Park, up to the Mirador del Río, or over the legendary Haría switchbacks. The combination of long climbs, fast descents and open terrain makes every ride a genuine experience.
Our camps combine professional coaching with a well-structured programme for anyone who wants to work on themselves with purpose. Swimming sessions in a 50-metre pool or in the Atlantic, running sessions along the coast, on the promenade or on the trails — always guided by our coaches, always individually tailored.
And the best part? Despite the intensity, there's still room for recovery and enjoyment. Soaking up the sun after training, a relaxed evening with the Community. Lanzarote is demanding, but also inspiring. That's what makes it so special.
