From October 12 to 19, 2025, more than 45 athletes traveled to Mallorca. Despite storms and delayed arrivals, the mood was excellent from the start. A week full of motivation, team spirit, and energy best describes this year’s swimCAMP.
We stayed at the beautiful Universal Hotel Marqués, a 4-star hotel right by the sea. Perfect location, short distances, and a relaxed atmosphere. Training took place at the BEST Centre in Colonia de Sant Jordi. The 50-meter facility offers top conditions for swimmers and triathletes. The town itself delights visitors with its small cafés, fine sandy beaches such as Es Trenc, and a peaceful Mediterranean atmosphere that attracts many participants every year.
The camp focused on intensive training sessions, technical work, and lots of fun. Participants in the Gold Camp completed nine training sessions per week, while those in the Silver Camp completed five. In addition to performance-based workouts, there were video analyses, theory sessions, and individual corrections. The aim was to work together to set new goals, refine technique, and make progress visible. As always, the camp was aimed at swimmers and triathletes of all performance levels, from ambitious beginners to experienced athletes.
The coaching team consisted of Matze, Jörn, Birgit, and our physiotherapist Elli. Elli took care of warm-ups, cool-downs, and individual support, which was greatly appreciated by everyone who needed to recover after intensive training sessions. Birgit brought calm and flexibility to the program with her yoga class on the off day, while Jörn explored the open sea with around 15 swimmers. Sunshine, 25 degrees, and ideal training conditions made the week perfect.
Many of the participants had been to the camp before, which made the atmosphere particularly warm and friendly. New faces were quickly integrated, creating a harmonious, motivated group that made the training camp something very special.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who participated. It was a week filled with training, laughter, sunshine, and genuine team spirit.
And best of all: in 2026, we will be celebrating 10 years of swimCAMP Mallorca with an anniversary edition.
The next camp with available spots will take place from October 11 to 18, 2026. The May camp (May 17 to 24, 2026) is already fully booked.
