Start & Turn Special
Geldrop, The Netherlands
Pieter v/d Hoogenband
Swimming stadium Eindhoven Netherlands

Eindhoven Start-Turn-Finish Special covers 30% of a swimming race in a 50m pool. In a 25m pool this percentage is even higher. This is why it is so important to focus on starts, turns and finishes during a training. Guided by top swimmers & coaches all starts, turns and other skills will be practiced and improved during this 3-day swim special developed by SportstarZ Aquatics.

To optimize your skills level SportstarZ introduces a start & turn analysis. These skills will be recorded with our high-end WinnerCam system. All swimmers will be recorded above and below the water. Together with the mentor coach we will analyse and discuss where each individual swimmer can improve. Based on this information the swimmer will receive specific instructions to improve one’s start & turns. Besides the measurement results and the individual improvement instructions, swimmers receive cloud storage with their images and a detailed analysis with all data and instructions.

Like all our camps, during this 3-day special we believe: ‘Performance comes with pleasure’. In our opinion it is important to enjoy your sport. Only if you are having fun while swimming do you have the chance to succeed. This is why, alongside serious training, we cater for enough time to make new friends and enjoy many fun recreational activities. Twice a day we train in one of Europe’s largest and most beautiful swimming pools: The “Pieter van de Hoogenband Swimming stadium” in Eindhoven. This high-tech swimming complex is the home base for national top-class athletes and numerous swimming clubs.

 

't Uilenest
Geldrop

Just twenty minutes from the swimming centre is ‘t Uilenest inn, our cosy accommodation in a green environment. After a tough day swimming it is a great place to relax in and around this inn. The boys and girls spend the night separately, in two dormitories, in comfortable bunk beds. The inn has a beautiful location with plenty of space to play, explore and enjoy, surrounded by nature reserves and forests.

An intensive day of swimming and exercising will make you hungry. The participants therefore receive two bread meals and a hearty hot meal every day, which provide excellent energy replenishment. A professional chef provides us with varied and healthy meals throughout the week.
