With use of this amazing facility we are able to offer precise swim coaching along with the use of underwater cameras and analysis, use of the lecture area and their swim based gym.

We will also make use of some amazing beaches and have easy access to the sea for open water swimming. The facilities for swimming on this camp are second to none .

Cycling

The Island of Majorca is known the world over for the good quality of its roads. With the locals being cyclist friendly and with mile after mile of stunning terrain to ride you won’t be disappointed. We will be making use of some of the islands climbs, descents and flats to improve your cycling and help prepare you for your triathlon season.

Running

As part of our accommodation package we have access to a private park that boasts some stunning off road running trails. These vary in distances and terrain but are fantastic for developing strength on a training camp. These along with road running on quiet and scenic roads completes the training facilities available to us.

Coaching

The camp is written and delivered by both VO2 Maximum coaches Paula Dewar and Jimmy George who have extensive knowledge and experience in coaching triathlon and competing. The ratio of coaches to athletes will be kept low to ensure every athlete has time and attention with the coaches. We will also be assisted by coaches from the Best Centre and athletes will benefit from their expert swim analysis.

Accommodation

The 4 star hotel we will be using is triathlete friendly with staff who will be more than happy to serve you and help in any way they can. The hotel is welcoming and comfortable with amazing seas views. Importantly, it also offers a secure area for bike storage.

There is a wi-fi service and the restaurant serves a mix of menu and buffet food of a high standard(and plenty of it!). Anyone on the camp is booked in on a half board basis which means your breakfast and evening meal are included in the package price.

There are many restaurants in the town and on the harbour which are only a 10-15min walk from the hotel should you require.
