Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a training camp?

It is proven that a training camp improves team moral, brings a team closer together and overall improves a swimmers results and confidence in their events. The time away at a training camp will allow athletes to focus on their training without the everyday distractions of home or school. It also gives athletes the chance to enjoy different cultural experiences depending on the location you choose to go.

What are the accommodation types?

Every location has different accommodations types. We use hotels and condominiums, depending on availability and budget. One thing is for certain is that we never use anything less than a three-star rated hotel.

For Hotels, we normally use Hilton Brand (Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites or Embassy Suites) and Holiday Inn Brand (Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express). Both brands offer consistent products worldwide giving you and us peace of mind.

How far are the hotels from the pool?

We never have a hotel further that 30 minutes from the pool. There is no sense spending all of your time on the road when your athletes could be resting or having fun on the beach.

Do you have any locations where we can walk to the pool?

Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Florida.

Are all of your pools long course?

A majority of the pools we offer are long course. That said we have a number of short course pools if that is your priority. Let us know your training goals.

Are prices guaranteed?

Price is accurate at the time of quoting. Any changes in the number of travellers, taxes, service fees, exchange rates or fuel surcharges will be the responsibility of the group at time of final invoicing.
