Fit for Fun triathlete Alexander with coach Glen.
“Hi Glen, hier mein Ergebnis, war so schnell wie das letztes Jahr mit Neo.
Und das nachdem ich 2 Wochen nicht/nicht richtig trainieren konnte und erst zu 85-90% fit bin.
Schwimm: 28,53min. ohne Neo,
d.h. mit Neo wäre ich natürlich schneller gewesen 
Schwimmen ging super, hab mich ohne Neo sehr gut gefühlt, bin ganz locker angegangen und leider aus Angst viel zu locker durchgeschwommen, hatte aber ein super Rhytmus fast nur 3er Atmung. Es wäre bestimmt mehr drin gewesen, wollte aber wegen der Erkältung nicht Vollgas geben, bin ganz entspannt aus dem Wasser gekommen. Nächstes mal werde ich bestimmt schneller sein….
Vielen Dank Glen.
Gruss Alexander

Only one week after Swimstars Swim Camp on T3, Tenerife some swimmers took the advantage of all the good training and technique work and swam new best times in their home countries. In France Salima Bouyad (50) won 6 titles at the French Masters Championships winning 100m-200m-400m-800m Freestyle, 200m IM and the 3km Open Water. The 200m freestyle and 200m IM were new best times for Salima who also took the SwimStar Instructor licence on Tenerife. In Hamburg 2 x IronMan participant Rebecca Goldbach swam new best times in, for her, the short distances 50m Free (31,09) and 100m Free (1.07,05) at the 26th Poseidion Traditional swimfest.

Swimming in the Flume: a mental and physical challenge
Everybody listening very attentive to Biomechanic Thomas analyse.
Some participants also took the SwimStars Instructor licence during the camp
Last weeks Swimstars World Master Camp on Tenerife was probably the best camp in the last 2 years! A great group of people who really got a long well with each other. The age difference between the youngest (25 years) and the oldest (65) and the level of the swimmers from ” I just swim for fun” to World Champions and ex Olympic swimmers was just positive and made the group really tight. The training was tough, some swimmers doing over 40.000 meters during the camp but we also managed to have some fun like doing a Midsummer Challenge Relay Swim against the junior team from NAC Dublin, Ireland. We won the Medley relays over the much younger swimmers but on the Freestyle relays the Dublin Kids came back strong and won. In the Mens Medley relay the winning time was 2.05,32! Not bad for a team being 181 years old! (Backstroke: Karl Justh (53) 35,79, Breast Glen Christiansen (53) 32,71, Fly Lonie Encinar (40) 32,20 and Freestyle Anders Kilen (35) 24,62!) The Womens relay Age 134 won with a 2.19,24 (Backstroke: Tina Kueter (28) 35,48, Breaststroke Anna-Karin Lundin (37) 36,14, Fly Line Lund (29) 35,72 and Freestyle Anja Buermeister (40) 31,50).
We also did technique analysis in the swimmingflume, start training with filming and here my ex assistant coach from USG Copenhagen, World Masters sprint champion Anders Kilen were a great help in helping with start technique, sprints and technique advices in general.
One of the free afternoons a part of the group who can´t get enough of water took to Siam Park, a fantastic water-fun park close by while the rest went shopping in the tax free shops of Tenerife.
The swimmers were devided in to different lanes according to their level and what strokes they mainly swim. They also recieved different training programs. This time we had a: Middle Distance lane, a Backstroke lane and a Sprint/breaststroke lane. This way everybody could work on their different specialties with fellow competitors.
The food is really good at Jardin La Caleta and you really have to watch out if your are there coaching and not swimming twice a day!
On the second day we all got in the swimming flume to get our strokes corrected and advices from T3´s Biomechanic Thomas and myself. A worthwile expreience that gives you new insights of your technique under water. After the session we could work the rest of the week on the new advices. Very helpful for swimmers and coach!
Some swimmers took the chance to learn more about teaching swimming according to the SwimStar method during the week. Since I offer the Instructor course during the camp , several swimmers took the Swimstar Instructor Licence and now can teach children and adults to swim.
The last day we selected a MVP (Most Valuable Player) from the camp and Birgitta Olofsson won the prices for her always friendly and laughing smile and her great training spirit! A true Masters swimmer.
Last but not least: The camp would not have been so great if the staff at the hotel and at T3 weren´t so great! Always friendly, helpful, smiling, serviceminded and good looking!
Especially thanks to the always supportive Heike Huhnke at T3 who did the organisation and paperworks for the camp. She is absolutely an angel!

Ronnie Dalgaard, Christian Oldenburg, Glen, Anders Kilen, Simon Sjödin, Andreas Overbeck
Over 30 swimmers in the age from 18 to 93 years old found their way to Göteborg, Sweden from 9 different countries to swim in Valhallabadet, the main venue for the World Masters Championships. This time the Swedish Champion, (the swimmer in Sweden with most Swedish records) Simon Sjödin came to Göteborg for 3,5 days to coach the grateful masters swimmers. Simon coaching on Butterfly and Backstroke was really appreciated and Glen gave the breaststrokers, sprinters and middledistance swimmers their money worth. But not only did the groups swim back and forth in the pool; all swimmers got their strokes filmed under water and advices from Glen. Also lactate testing, massage, stretching and seminars on training and competition preparation was on the schedule. The participants were exhausted and excited after the intensive camps and several signed up right away for upcoming camps!
Next Camps:
June 21st – 28th on Tenerife
July 12th – 18th in Göteborg
