A TYPICAL
DAY
A typical day at the Basic Camp follows a clear structure: We systematically work on your technical foundation.
In the morning, the focus is entirely on the water. After an optional activation run, we start in the pool with the first major technique session. Here, we fine-tune your body position and use the time for the first video recordings.
In the afternoon, we combine land and water. We strengthen your foundation with specific core and pull-cord training. Often, a second, short water session follows, to directly implement technical focus points like open water fundamentals.
And in the evening? Time for your mind. We analyze the video recordings in a group or delve deeper into crawl technique theory in lectures. After that, it's: feet up and regenerate for the next day.
Every day has a clear focus. Every exercise improves your feel for the water.

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.
