FASTER FREESTYLE SWIM CAMPS 2024

HUATULCO, MEXICO

Two 7 day/7 night camps will be offered in FEBRUARY 2024

Camp #1 Friday, Feb. 2nd to Friday the 9th

Local open water event Sat-Sun Feb. 10/11

Camp #2 Monday, Feb. 12th to Monday the 19th

Swim in warm, clear water. Enjoy watching curious tropical fish swim so close they might try to hitch a ride in your swim suit. Feel safe while you explore hidden coves, caves and bays. Back on the beach, tilt your head back to embrace the warm winter sun as you sip on a cold drink.

Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Especially in February?

Faster Freestyle Swim Camps offer a combination of beautiful, guided open water swims along with plenty of swim technique instruction….including a private session with video analysis.

After one week, your stress will melt away while you gain confidence in the open water. You will discover strategies to help you find an easier and faster way to swim. You will leave Mexico a much better swimmer with improved technique and noticeable gains in both your speed and endurance.

Your host and coach will be Hall of Fame Swimmer Karlyn Pipes. To date, Karlyn has set over 236 FINA Masters World records. So far THIS year, Karlyn has set eight WR for the 60-64 age group in Canada, Tunisia and California.

Hurry, space is limited to 10

• One day we will go explore by boat and have a picnic lunch (provided).
• Another adventure will take us to a beach with a small surf break called La Bocana, followed by a trip to a local river. Here you will have the opportunity to test your new stroke swimming agains the current, which is a lot like swimming in my Endless Pool. It’s going to be so fun!
