Buoys are required
A swim buoy helps keep each participant visible.
THE CAMP FINALE / OPEN WATER
Your swim.
Your moment.
At first you wonder: “Can I really do this?” Then it is you, the sea, your team and a shore you reached under your own power.

How we prepare
It all begins at Ammos.
Cap, goggles, buoy. We gather with the team, talk through the route and head into the water.
That “I did it” moment.
The final metres, a step onto the shore and a feeling you want to share with everyone.

Lines are an indicative outline, not a navigation track. Coaches set exact turns, start and finish according to sea conditions. Distances are programme targets.

Together in the water.
Proud on the shore.
This day begins long before the start. Throughout camp we learn to feel the water, stay on course and trust our growing skills.
- 01
Prepare
Technique, breathing, navigation and gradually longer swims.
- 02
Reach the start
Coaches assess readiness. We explain the route and check buoys and sea conditions.
- 03
Make it your moment
Swim with the team supporting you. Each participant has a personal achievement to celebrate.
OPEN WATER / CRETE
Readiness comes first.
Age alone is not enough.
Only participants the coach assesses as capable of completing their distance are admitted to the final swim. Attending camp does not mean automatic admission. Preparation and wellbeing matter more than finishing at any cost.
Support along the whole route
Children swim with the accompanying team, never setting out on their own.
Conditions checked before starting
Weather, sea conditions and participant wellbeing determine whether the swim can go ahead.
A distance matched to ability
The coach chooses distance and admission based on actual readiness.
