Colonia Sant Jordi has everything for your Triathlon training camps.
It is rare to find a site where each discipline is so well catered for but we have it all. Sheltered bays for open water swimming in crystal clear water are short walk from the outdoor 50m pool with underwater filming laboratory, where Olympic and international swimmers are on hand to help improve your technique and training sessions. The cycling terrain on the island is world renowned and we have forest trails and measured road loops for your running training.
SWIM
We at the BEST Centre have more experience and better facilities than any other site in Europe to help Triathletes improve their swimming. The outdoor 50m pool is run by Olympic swimmers, and we have underwater and above water video cameras that install into a 15m filming laboratory. We can give you instant feedback in the AV room on the poolside. There is superb, sheltered open water swimming off the immaculate beaches and clear water on either side of the town.
BIKE
The island is a cyclists heaven because of the excellent road conditions and challenging terrain.
Take a trip up to the mountains, with peaks higher than any in the UK, or ride the undulating terrain around Colonia Sant Jordi in the south and east coasts to build endurance or take recovery rides. For your hill reps, the renowned climbs of Son Salvador and Randa are just 20 – 30km away.
RUN
The surrounding areas of Colonia Sant Jordi have some superb running.
There are trails through the woodland behind Es Trenc Beach in 3km, 4km and 6km loops, as well as measured-distance flat runs on the quiet roads outside the town.
But nothing is better than running along the wide, coastal pathways looking across the water to the island of Cabrera.
Testimonials
One of the best pools and gym we have ever seen. The BEST Centre in Colonia Sant Jordi is perfect for our training.
Once again thanks for everything. I knocked 9 mins off my time in the 1500m triathlon swim and placed 3rd man over 45. It was a very big event so swim camp worked. We would love to come back next year.
The whole week was a great success with the accommodation, food and location all ideal for our needs. The bikes and Joan’s service and help could not have been better. After a superb training camp everyone went away fitter and inspired by the experience. The technical input in the pool was particularly valued!
