What is Swim Up Camp?
Swim Up Camp is the camp brand of the Ankara-based Frekans Swimming Academy, running video-analysed swim camps for adults. At camp every swimmer’s stroke is filmed underwater, and from the surface when conditions allow; national swimming coaches then explain each fault to you.

01 · Method
We make the faults in your technique visible.
The movement you feel while swimming and the technique you actually use are not always the same. We analyse your technique with underwater and surface camera footage. Our national swimming coaches study your footage frame by frame and identify your technical faults. They find the three priority points for you to improve, and throughout camp we focus on correcting them with training built for you.
02
Explain.
Our national swimming coaches study your footage frame by frame to find your technical faults. They set three priority areas to correct and explain them to you in detail.
Frame-by-frame analysis · 3 priority areas
03
Correct.
We plan the rest of the camp’s sessions around the analysis. To fix the faults found, our coaches give you work of your own in the water and at the poolside.
Individual training · Technique correction work
Correct · frame by frame
One frame, four lines.
The coach slows the footage, freezes the key frame and compares it with the right line. What you see on screen is what your stroke really does.
What else the camera looks at
- KickAmplitude, rate, ankle flexibility
- Turns and breakoutsFlip turn, push-off, dolphin kicks
- BreathingHow far the head turns, and its effect on balance
- SurfaceStroke rate, pace, line in open water
The drawings are illustrative: they show what the coach looks at, not measurements.
Explain · the same footage
Different angles, one record.
The underwater camera is the core. When conditions allow, surface and drone footage show the same stroke from elsewhere; the coach watches them together.
Stroke rate, pace, open water line.
From above: the group and lane order.
The coach corrects hand and foot placement at the end of the lane.
02 · Camps
Three camps, three waters.
