The countdown to an unforgettable Christmas Artistic Swimming experience in Barcelona has begun.
TRAIN WITH INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS AND TAKE YOUR ARTISTIC SWIMMING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Now celebrating its 20th edition, the Barcelona Christmas Artistic Swimming Camp has established itself as one of Europe’s leading holiday training experiences for young artistic swimmers who want to continue improving during the Christmas break.
Every December, talented athletes from more than 15 countries come together in Barcelona to train in an inspiring international environment where excellence, friendship and personal growth go hand in hand.
This year’s coaching team brings together four outstanding professionals whose experience ranges from Olympic and national team programmes to athlete development and international competition.
Participants will train alongside Natalia Didenko, Meritxell Mas, Kim Deiman and Sandra Rodríguez, four coaches who combine technical excellence, international experience and a genuine passion for helping young athletes reach their full potential.
Throughout the camp, swimmers will refine their technique, artistic expression, flexibility and confidence while preparing for the second half of the competitive season under the guidance of coaches committed to excellence both in and out of the water.
Together, they create an inspiring learning environment where every athlete receives individual attention, discovers new ways to improve and returns home stronger, more confident and motivated for the challenges ahead.
This is much more than a Christmas camp. It is an international artistic swimming experience designed to help every swimmer continue growing, competing and dreaming bigger.
NOTES

- In exceptional circumstances, one of the announced coaches may be required to attend official commitments with their national team or federation. Should this occur, they will be replaced by another coach of equivalent international standing, ensuring that the quality and prestige of our coaching staff remain unchanged.
