WHAT LAST YEAR'S PARTICIPANTS SAID

5-Star Review: Amazing Swim Prep Camp in Montenegro with Simon & Jay
I attended the Swimming Preparation Camp in Montenegro six days ago, and I’m still buzzing from the experience! Coaches Simon and Jay delivered outstanding practical advice and wisdom that resonated with our entire group, from beginners to seasoned swimmers. Their tips on stroke mechanics, mental prep, and recovery were spot-on and easy to apply, set against Montenegro’s stunning Adriatic backdrop.
What blew me away was their individualized analysis—way beyond expectations. Each of us got personalized video feedback and tailored drills, pinpointing issues like my shoulder form and boosting others’ drafting and breathing. This one-on-one attention made all the difference. Simon’s technical expertise and Jay’s motivational vibe created a perfect balance, fostering a supportive, high-energy atmosphere.
Montenegro’s clear and warm water is incredible, but Simon and Jay’s dedication made this camp unforgettable. If you want to elevate your swimming, this is the place to be. Huge thanks, guys—can’t wait for our next one!
