Dare to Swim

Our SportstarZ crew consists of professional supervisors, multiple experienced swimming stars and, through our Royal Dutch Swimming Federation well educated, enthusiastic swim coaches.

SportstarZ swimcamp

Athletes who participate in our swimcamp ‘s become better swimmers through a combination of technical and physical training. In our vision technique is the fundament of swimming. It’s important to start training the right swimming techniques at a young age. European swimming educations are of high standard. However, due to a lack of time and recourses these educations are not always able to get the best out of training. During our Summer Camps we focus on improving techniques on all swim strokes. During our 5-day spring- and autumn Specials we zoom in on starts, turns and streamlining.

YoungstarZ swimcamp

Eight to twelve years old, this period is essential to achieve maximum performance in the future! A good swimming technique is a foundation for every competitive swimmer, especially around these ages. The swimmers will be training all four swim stroke techniques, starts and turns. The accent will be on the right execution of these movements. Camps for the youngest participants are will be given in Dutch and English.

JuniorstarZ swimcamp

Club training for swimmers in the age of 12 till 18 years old will generally focus on training physical fitness and endurance. In summer time SportstarZ aims to refine their swimming technique but there’s also offered challenging dry land training, mental training and useful theory lessons. Every day there are 2 training sessions. Specific JuniorstarZ camps are Dutch and English spoken.
