About

Swimming

Cyprus is one of Europe’s most dependable destinations for swimming training camps. Warm, sunny weather and a cluster of open-air 50m Olympic pools let squads train outdoors in fast water all year, while most of the continent is stuck indoors. For coaches, the hardest part of a camp — securing reliable Olympic-size pool time — is exactly what Cyprus makes easy.

There are five open-air 50m pools across the island, conveniently located close to hotels to keep transfers short and costs down: two in Paphos plus one each in Limassol, Larnaca, and Nicosia. Several are equipped with Omega timing, start blocks, wave-killer lane lines, and on-site gyms and physiotherapy, so a visiting squad gets everything it needs for serious preparation in one place.

Beyond the pool, Cyprus is also home to open-water swimming through our Cyprus Swim Series — marathon events in Paphos and Limassol that make an ideal focal point for a camp. Whether you are a club chasing a winter base, an age-group squad, or open-water swimmers preparing for a race, a swimming training camp in Cyprus can be built around your dates, your group, and your budget.

Frequently asked questions

Where can teams train for swimming in Cyprus?
Cyprus has five open-air 50m Olympic pools — two in Paphos (Geroskipou and Peyia) plus one each in Limassol, Larnaca, and Nicosia. Several offer 10 lanes, start blocks, wave-killer lane lines, and on-site gyms, all heated to 26–28°C year-round, with Omega timing at Peyia.
When is the best time for a swimming camp in Cyprus?
Any month works because the outdoor 50m pools are heated all year. Clubs escaping cold northern winters favour November–February; age-group and open-water camps peak in June–August; and spring and autumn suit technique and endurance blocks in mild, stable weather.
What is included in a swimming camp package?
A typical package covers lane time, accommodation near the pool, airport meet & assist, and transfers. Full-service packages add meals, physiotherapy, gym access, and a dedicated coordinator. Everything is tailored to your squad — request a quote to build yours.
How much does a swimming training camp in Cyprus cost?
Packages are priced per group because cost depends on squad size, length of stay, board level, and pool location. Share your dates and numbers and we’ll return a fixed per-person price with no obligation.
Do the pools have Olympic-standard timing and equipment?
Yes. Our partner pools are 50m Olympic-size with start blocks, training clocks, and wave-killer lane lines, and venues such as Peyia add Omega touch panels and automatic officiating — everything a squad needs for timed sets and trials.
Can you arrange open-water swimming in Cyprus?
