Introductory bootcamp

3 to 7 days to launch finswimming where it is new: daily pool sessions and theory lessons on technique, equipment and training models, for beginners, swimming coaches and clubs opening a finswimming section. Demo equipment available.

Coaches

Coach clinic

A weekend at your club: we coach your athletes alongside your coaches, followed by briefings and theory lessons, so your staff keeps the method after we leave.

Athletes

Training camp

5 to 7 days of pool and dry-land training, video technique analysis and race preparation for young athletes and masters.

Individual training stay · Zagreb

Example: one month of intensive finswimming in Zagreb

In October 2024 Fiona Summerell, a masters swimmer from Australia, spent a month training with us in Zagreb: daily pool sessions with Komet's coaches, monofin and bi-fins technique, starts and turns, and race preparation. At the end of the month she raced at the Mermaids for Inclusion event in Sarajevo, under the Australian flag. We can organise a similar stay for you: training plan, sessions with our club, and help with accommodation in Zagreb.

Upcoming dates will be published here. Register your interest and we will tell you first when the next camp opens, or ask us to bring a camp to your country.
