The coaching team

Coached by elite-sport professionals.

Every Expert Swimcamp camp is coached by a carefully composed team of experienced coaches with a proven elite-sport background.

What makes our coaches special?

We select coaches on a combination of technical knowledge, coaching experience and the gift of motivating young people. Each camp gets a tailor-made team.

Experience with youth coaching

Coaching at elite level and supervising young people are different skills. Our coaches master both.

Video-analysis skills

Coaches can analyse footage and translate it concretely into improvement points for the swimmer.

Coaching staff per camp

Every camp is coached by an Olympic or national champion.
