Improving your efficiency in the water is good. Understanding why is even better.

Two days on the shore of Lake Bourget to reach a new level: 6 hours of swimming in a private lane of Aqualac's Olympic pool, 3 hours of theory that will change the way you swim, and individualized feedback at each session. Ten spots, no more.

The method is simple: you swim, we observe you. We explain what's hindering you (hydrodynamics, body alignment, balance, propulsion), then you get back in the water to apply it immediately. Grand principles become concrete sensations, and you leave on Sunday with personalized training plans to implement the following week.

And because a Les Bornées weekend doesn't end at the pool: reserved tables on Saturday lunch and Saturday evening, and a final restaurant on Sunday to close out together, before leaving at 2 PM with your head full of memories.

Preparing for a triathlon, eyeing an open water crossing, or simply wanting to swim better: if you're comfortable swimming 200m, this weekend is for you.

Accommodation and meals remain at your expense, so that everyone can choose the option that suits them: all the energy of the weekend is focused on your swimming.

The trip story

An Olympic-sized pool placed on the lake

Aqualac has an advantage that few swimming pools can claim: its 50-meter Olympic pool opens directly onto Lake Bourget, France's largest natural lake. You get out of the water, and the water is still there, as far as the eye can see.

Olympic 50m pool Private lane On the shore of Lac du Bourget Train station 15 min walk Spa town between the lake and Mont Revard

It is in this setting that we are reserving a swimming lane for ten swimmers: the conference room a stone's throw from the pools for theory, the lakeside esplanade for a break between sessions, and Aix-les-Bains all around, a spa town nestled between the water and the Revard mountains.

> Swimming while looking at the lake, debriefing with your feet in the grass: the setting does half the work.

Frequently asked questions

What level do I need to take part?

Being comfortable swimming 200m without stopping is enough. Everything after that is built on individual feedback: everyone progresses on their own priorities, whatever their starting level.

What gear should I bring?

Swimsuit, cap and goggles. If you have hand paddles or a pull buoy, bring them along.

I'm coming on my own, is that a problem?

Not at all: most people come on their own. The group of ten and the weekend's shared tables do the rest.

I'm not training for a race, is it still worth it?

Yes: the weekend is about efficiency and ease in the water, not competition. Whether you're preparing for a triathlon, an open-water swim or simply want to swim better, you'll leave with practical tools to use from your very next training sessions.

Have you experienced this stay?

Share your feelings, even if they're honest and nuanced: it guides future adventurers and earns you Club points.
