Greece SwimMastery Fundamentals
Open Water Swim Camp

Friday 24 September - Wednesday 29 September 2027

Who is the Swim Camp For?

This camp is for the swimmer who has already begun working on their swimming and is keen to learn more about technique. If you’re ready to introduce yourself to open water, Limeni’s calm, clear bays offer a beautiful and safe environment to build your confidence, with experienced coaches beside you every step of the way. And if you’ve already started your SwimMastery journey, this is the perfect opportunity to keep spiralling up the SwimMastery learning, refining your skills and taking your swimming to the next level. All while enjoying Limeni's crystal-clear waters.

We will have a fun-filled week in beautiful Limeni, Greece, swimming, socialising, enjoying the excellent Greek food, and making new friends. Most of all, we will improve your swim technique using our powerful SwimMastery Technique.

Whether you’re a beginner taking your first strokes in open water or an experienced swimmer refining your form, our expert-led sessions focus on the fundamentals that matter: efficient technique that safeguards your shoulders from injury, stroke mechanics that translate to genuine speed, and skills you’ll carry with you for years to come.

We look forward to you joining us in Greece, where Head Coach Tracey Baumann and other highly experienced coaches are excited to work with you, share their knowledge, and offer an unbelievably great Coach-to-swimmer ratio.
