French Paralympic Swimmers Held Training Camp with Sports City Antalya
From August 29 to September 4, French para swimmers completed an intensive swimming training camp in Antalya, Türkiye, organized with the support of Sports City Antalya.
The camp provided the athletes with accommodation, accessible transportation and daily access to a 50-metre swimming pool, creating a practical training environment for their preparations ahead of upcoming international competition.
Para Swimming Training Camp at TUI BLUE Xanthe
The team stayed at the all-inclusive TUI BLUE Xanthe in Side, Antalya, where the swimmers were able to combine accommodation, meals and training facilities within the same resort.
Daily swimming sessions took place in the hotel’s 50-metre sports pool. Keeping the athletes close to their training facility helped simplify the team’s daily schedule and reduced unnecessary travel between accommodation and training sessions.
Accessible Transportation for Para Athletes
Sports City Antalya coordinated the team’s local transportation, including airport transfers with vehicles suitable for para athletes and wheelchair users.
Accessibility was considered throughout the team’s stay so that athletes could move between Antalya Airport, their accommodation and other required locations as comfortably and efficiently as possible.
Accommodation and Meals Designed Around the Team
During the camp, arrangements were made with the hotel to support the requirements of the French delegation.
A dedicated dining area was reserved for the team in the hotel restaurant, allowing the athletes and staff to have their meals together while maintaining an organized daily training schedule.
The all-inclusive accommodation also gave the delegation convenient access to meals and recovery time without requiring additional travel outside the hotel.
Antalya as a Destination for Swimming Training Camps
Antalya combines sports facilities, a wide selection of team-friendly hotels and international flight connections, making the region suitable for professional swimming teams looking to organize training camps in Türkiye.
For para swimming teams, careful coordination of accommodation, transportation, training facilities and accessibility is particularly important. Sports City Antalya works with teams to bring these elements together according to the requirements of each delegation.
Following the camp, the French swimmers expressed their satisfaction with the training conditions and services provided during their stay and indicated their interest in returning to Antalya for future training camps.
