OCTOBER SWIM CAM P 2018
PLAYITAS GRAND RESORT, FUERTEVENTURA
20 - 27 OCTOBER 2018
It is the coaching teams intention to run a training camp for 'selected' swimmers from T1/T2 each year in
October. This will become an integral part of your training programme each season. Whilst the full
benefits of such a camp won?t be seen immediately, it will have significant benefits over the course of the
season and your swimming journey.
Whilst we view this camp as an important part of the training cycle and programme, swimmers and
parents should not feel under any pressure to attend.
There are always potential opportunities for swimmers to access grants with local organisations in order
to support their attendance on camps such as this; equally swimmers should consider the possible
opportunity of fundraising. It would be fantastic to see each swimmer taking some personal
responsibility in finding ways of supporting themselves to attend the camp.
I have looked at a number of options and decided to select Fuerteventura for the 2018 camp. It appears
to offer great opportunities for good weather, facilities, accommodation, food.
Cost
The indicative cost is £1000 this has been estimated using a quote from Track & Field Tours but no firm
flight costs, therefore there could be some adjustment on this.

7 nights accommodation with Full Board
12 x 2 hour swimming sessions

The Playitas Grand Resort on Fuerteventura
Northeast of Gran Tarajal on the east coast of
Fuerteventura there is a new resort; Playitas
Grand Resort which offers guests a holiday with
a difference. Taylor made vacations are offered
for large and small sports groups as well as
individual guests and families looking for peace
and quiet.
The extensive Playitas Grand Resort is
refreshingly different from its competitors. With
one hotel located on either side of the wide bay
and 24 villas along the golf course in the centre it
offers ideal conditions for families keen on sport’s
holidays or for just relaxing.
With professionalism and enthusiasm the Playitas Grand Resort

The catering in the Playitas Grand Resort is of top quality as you’d expect from a quality resort: everything is offered from
self service buffet to ‘a la carte’.
Another plus of the facility is the fact that only a five minute stroll along
the beach from the resort lies the islands most picturesque village of Las
Playitas where you can mix with the locals and find out a bit about the
‘real Fuerteventura’.
In the brand new 700 m2 Fitness Centre amateur or professional athletes can prepare themselves for competitive
events.
Here you can find different equipment suitable for all athletes:
• Express Way with "Nautilus One"
• Cardio Hall with Cross trainers, rowing machines, recumbent, bikes, upright bikes and treadmills.
• Free Weights Area
• Spinning Bikes
• Personal Trainer
Guests of Playitas can use the gym free of charge.
If there are any non-adults that wish to
use the gym, even though the gym
has its own attendants, non-adults
have to be supervised by an adult at
all times when using the gym
equipment.
There is a jogging track approximately 1.5 kms long that runs through the gardens of the resort and along the beach path
from one end to the other end of the resort.
There are the hills behind the apartments where people can either join an organized hike (at a small fee) or just hike
along the hills and the footpaths on their own.
There are 2 main routes you can do, the smaller one that takes you to the top of the hills and around and back to the
resort. There is a similar but longer route that basically does a larger circle back to the resort and there is a route to the
near town of Grand Tarajal which takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once in Grand Tarajal if people do not want to
walk back they can take either the public bus back to Playitas Resort or take a taxi.
For people into Fitness and Aerobics, there is a daily programme of fitness and aerobics classes which are for all abilities
and are free for all guests of Playitas Resort.
