Swim Camps
Five-day holiday intensives for competitive and club swimmers — small squad-style groups, two hours in the water a day, school holidays only.
Five days.
One focused block.
A swim camp is a concentrated block of squad-style training over the school holidays — not a one-off workshop and not a learn-to-swim course. Five consecutive days, purposeful coaching, measurable progress across the week.
5 Consecutive
Days
A full holiday week of training — Easter, May half-term, summer or October half-term. Momentum builds day on day rather than fading between weekly sessions.
2 Hours In
The Water
Two hours of coached pool time every day — ten hours across the week. Pool sessions only: no dryland, no lunch or childcare element.
Small Squad
Cohort
Two to three lanes hired at most, so numbers stay tight. Intensive, squad-style sets with a head coach and an assistant coach on deck throughout.
Performance
Focus
Stroke technique, race craft, starts, turns and race-pace work — the same coaching standard as our one-to-one and squad programmes, delivered as a block.
Not sure whether you want a camp or a clinic? A stroke clinic is a single 2–3 hour workshop with one focus — the fastest way to fix a specific stroke. A camp is the opposite shape: five days of coached volume that rebuild technique, fitness and race sharpness over a whole holiday block. Many swimmers do both.
Who camps
are for
Camps are built for swimmers who already train and compete — a chance to put in a serious block of coached work while the pool timetable is quieter.
Competitive Club
Swimmers
Junior and senior club athletes who want to use the holidays to sharpen technique and race craft rather than lose ground between terms.
County & Regional
Hopefuls
Age-group swimmers chasing qualifying times who benefit from a concentrated block of coached volume in the run-up to a meet.
Ambitious
Juniors
Young swimmers ready to step up their training and commitment, with individual attention alongside the intensity of squad sets.
Not For
Beginners
Camps are about performance, not learning to swim. Swimmers should be training or competing with a club and comfortable across full sessions.
Upcoming
camps
Camps run across the four main school holidays. Dates for each cohort are released on enquiry, and places are strictly limited by the lanes we hire — the earlier you register your interest, the better the chance of a place.

Every camp is run by coaches accredited by Swim England, ASA or STA at Level 2 or above, all fully DBS-checked, with an assistant coach present on deck throughout each session. Under-18s require a parent or guardian to be on-site or nearby, as agreed with the coach when you book. We'll confirm the full safeguarding arrangements for your swimmer's cohort at the point of enquiry.
Common
questions
A stroke clinic is a single 2–3 hour workshop focused on one stroke or skill. A swim camp is a five-day holiday intensive: five consecutive days, two hours in the water each day, squad-style, building across the week. Clinics fix one thing fast; camps rebuild volume, technique and race sharpness over a full block of school-holiday training.
Competitive and club swimmers — junior age-groupers, county and regional hopefuls, and ambitious young swimmers who want a concentrated block of performance coaching in the holidays. Camps are about performance, not learning to swim: they are not beginner sessions and not holiday childcare.
Two hours in the water per day, across five consecutive days — ten hours of coached pool time over the week. Sessions are pool-based only; there is no dryland, lunch or childcare element.
School holidays only — Easter, May half-term, summer and October half-term. Exact dates for each cohort are released on enquiry, and places are limited by the number of lanes hired.

Beyond
the holidays
A camp is one block in a bigger picture. For year-round development, our competitive swimming coaching works alongside your club programme, with dedicated junior swimmer coaching for age-group athletes targeting county and national times. For a single, focused fix on one stroke or skill, a stroke clinic is the quickest route.
