ExpertSwimCamp Tuscany Competitive Swimming Camp 2027
Take your competitive swimming to the next level at the ExpertSwimCamp Tuscany 2027, taking place from 25 April–1 May 2027 at Poggio all’Agnello Sport & Active Resort near Piombino on Tuscany’s Etruscan Coast.
This intensive international camp is designed specifically for competitive swimmers aged 10–18 who already train with a swimming club and compete at regional level or above. Places are limited to around 26 swimmers, allowing participants to train in small groups organised according to age and ability and receive regular individual feedback from the coaching team.
The week is built around one main goal: helping ambitious swimmers become faster, technically stronger and more confident competitors. Participants complete around 23 hours of guided training, combining pool sessions, dryland work, seminars, video analysis and mental preparation. Most training days include two focused swimming sessions in a professional 50-metre pool.
Training covers all major areas of competitive swimming:
✅ Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly
✅ Starts and underwater phases
✅ Turns and breakouts
✅ Stroke efficiency and technique
✅ Speed development
✅ Race preparation
✅ Strength and conditioning
✅ Dryland training
✅ Recovery strategies
✅ Mental preparation
A key element of the camp is personal video analysis. Every swimmer receives individual analysis of all four strokes as well as starts and turns. The footage is reviewed one-to-one with a coach so participants leave with clear technical action points to continue working on after camp.
Personal best times are also benchmarked, helping swimmers and coaches evaluate progress and connect technical changes with measurable performance.
The program includes structured dryland sessions focusing on strength, mobility and swimming-specific movement. Educational seminars cover topics such as stroke technique, race preparation, nutrition and racing equipment, while mental coaching and recovery-breathing sessions help swimmers develop focus, confidence and better recovery habits.
ExpertSwimCamp is an official Arena partner, with professional training equipment available poolside, including fins, snorkels, kickboards, pull buoys and paddles. Participants also receive Arena swimwear, a camp shirt and camp cap.
Although the camp is performance-focused, the week also includes time for recovery and social activities. Previous programs have included beach afternoons, a pizza opening evening, group activities and a full theme-park excursion.
The camp takes place at Poggio all’Agnello Sport & Active Resort, where the swimming pool, accommodation, restaurant, sports areas and recovery facilities are located within the same resort. This allows swimmers to concentrate on training and recovery without daily travel between facilities.
Coaching is provided in English and Dutch, making the camp accessible to international swimmers. Qualified staff supervise all swimming sessions, and residential participants receive continuous supervision throughout their stay.
This camp is best suited to motivated competitive swimmers who are comfortable with 4–5 hours of intensive training per day, enjoy receiving detailed technical feedback and want to train alongside other ambitious young athletes preparing for the long-course summer season.
