Swimming Training Camps in Turkey

Altitude in Erzurum, cool summers in Bolu, open water in Antalya

Why Choose Turkey for Swimming Training Camps?

One country, three training environments: high altitude, a cool summer climate and the warm Mediterranean — with 50 m and 25 m pools and open water.
  • Three climates in one country

    Altitude blocks in Erzurum (about 1,900 m), summer camps without the heat in Bolu, and warm-weather and open-water training on the Mediterranean coast in Antalya — all organized by one team.
  • Sports-Centric Hospitality

    Hotels close to the pool with athlete-oriented meals, gym access and recovery facilities such as saunas and Turkish baths, so the team can focus on training.
  • Logistics & Accessibility

    Most nationalities enter visa-free or with a simple e-visa. Istanbul and Antalya airports connect to Europe, the Gulf and Asia, with domestic flights to Erzurum.
