With Karlyn as your teacher and guide, we will swim Kealakekua Bay, the IRONMAN course at Kailua Bay, Kua Bay and Hapuna Beach. All sessions begin with a safety talk specific to each new location, and offer in-water technique suggestions, and open water strategies. All open water camps begin with a 4-hour freestyle swim technique clinic with video at the pool. If the timing is right, the camp will include a local open water swim competition (swim are offered year-round in Hawaii).

Multi-sport camps: If you have ever wanted to feel what it feels like to do the KONA Ironman, then this is your chance. We can arrange for you to swim, bike and run your way along the IRONMAN course. Or, for those more adventurous, you can bike the entire island. Sag, water safety and bikes are available. Multi-sport camps are available for groups large or small.
