Family Swim Holidays

The perfect holiday for all the family

What are Family Swim Holidays? 

Family Swim Holidays are designed for families who want to enjoy a relaxing getaway while keeping active.
While young swimmers receive top-level coaching from former Olympians, parents and non-swimmers can unwind in beautiful surroundings — or join in with their own activities. It’s the ideal combination of quality training for the kids and personal time for the grown-ups.

What’s Included

For Swimmers (Aged 6–18):

  • Technique-focused training programme

  • Daily sessions with elite coaches and former Olympians

  • Motivational, supportive, and safe environment

  • Train with swimmers from around the world

  • Boost confidence, improve technique, and make lasting friendships

For Parents & Non-Swimmers:

  • Time to relax or enjoy local wellness and leisure options

  • Beautiful surroundings for a restful, inspiring holiday

  • Peace of mind knowing your children are in expert hands

  • Opportunity to be part of the experience, without stepping into the pool

Family Activities

Because it’s not just about swimming — we also make sure the whole family has fun together:

  • Family quiz nights

  • Table tennis tournaments

  • Games and social activities

  • Trip to a local water park

  • Time to explore the island or relax by the sea

Who Can Join?

  • Swimmers aged 6 to 18

  • Must train regularly with a swim club or team

  • All levels welcome — from club swimmers to international competitors

  • Families can come together, whether or not all members swim

I cannot and never will be able to put into words what The Best Centre has done for my Grace’s spirit. You made her feel so valued. Maybe I should just convey what she said in her own words to me last night!!! “Swimming in Spain and being trained by Matt has lit a fire in me that no matter what will never be put out. I swim for me, Matt and The BEST centre.” (I think that says it all)! Thank you again, to all of you.

Grace and I are so proud to be part of The BEST Centre family.

What to expect

In the pool

Training sessions will be heavily technique focused, incorporating all four strokes as well as workshops focusing specifically on the core aspects of every race:

Starts
Turns
Underwaters
Finishes

Although swimmers will work hard in order to improve, all sessions are organised creatively to ensure enjoyment. Training in this way creates an effective environment where swimmers are having fun whilst learning, and take a great attitude about their sport back to their own home club.

Outside of the pool

Although this is a swim holiday, we offer so much more! As you can see in the table (and on the example itinerary on the brochure), outside of training we have a fun-filled schedule with lots of fun activities perfect for the whole family, along with plenty of free time to relax. Lastly, our presentation evening is the perfect way to end your fun-filled holiday where you can say “see you next year!” to your new coaches and friends.

What’s Included?

9×2 or 13×2 hours of long course sessions
Dry land pre-pool stretching
On-site rep
Table tennis tournament
The now famous BEST Centre Biathlon
Parents’ swimming lane and use of gym
BEST Centre t-shirt
BEST Centre cap
BEST Centre Certificate
Closing night award ceremony and talent show

Our fifth year at the Family Swim Holidays has been great for all three of us, like the other years. It is nice to see that the centre manages well the mix of swim levels (kids at National Championship level and kids who only swim 2 or 3 times a week).

SUPERB – the kids enjoyed new drills even after eleven billion hours of training at home.

Littlefield Family

Thank you and all the coaches for making our first BEST Centre holiday such a memorable one. On our final day, at the awards evening, it felt like we’d known everyone for months not just ten action-packed days. The whole Nugent family had the best holiday that we could have imagined.

FAQs

Will we have time as a family on our own?
Yes, there is time when we are not swimming or doing other activities that can be spent as a family. As seen on page 8 of the brochure between the swim sessions and activities families have free time.
Who will be coaching my children?
All our coaches are former international or Olympic swimmers and qualified coaches. We also have special guest weeks with Olympic medallists and Olympic coaches.
What language are the sessions coached in?
The sessions are coached in English. Some of our coaches are able to speak more than one language if any swimmer is struggling to understand. Lots of swimmers also translate and help each other if someone does not understand something. Parents are able to translate also.
Do you organise flights?
We can organise everything from the moment you land at the airport in Palma, although as we are not a flight agency, we unfortunately do not book flights. You book your flights, and we’ll take care of the rest.
