ADVANCED Swim Camp

Who is the Swim Camp For?

This swim camp is ideal for the more advanced swimmer who has perhaps already attended a previous SwimMastery Camp or has had lessons with a SwimMastery Coach and enjoys swimming in beautiful bays with fantastic visibility, enjoying food at small restaurants and cafes and being away from tourists and crowds. From a 2km swimmer to an experienced open water swimmer, we welcome a range of swimmers on our camps. This could be your opportunity to set your goal, perhaps to extend your previous distances in open water or to swim the same distance faster or with better technique. No matter what your goal is this camp has something for everyone.
