Open water swimming camp in Punkaharju 24.-26.6.2025

JANI SIEVINEN'S SWIMMING CAMP IN PUNKAHARJU TUE 24TH - THU 26TH JUNE 2025

Since 2019, the Naaranlahti Tourism Estate has been organizing an event named Finland's clearest swimrun, with up to 140 participants at its peak.

The enthusiastic feedback from participants about swimming in the clear waters inspired Hänninen to devise new services, this time with Jani Sievinen.

Sievinen has been sharing coaching expertise since 1993. Nowadays, he coaches swimmers across Finland and internationally, including triathletes.

"Swimming in open waters is somewhat different from pool swimming. You have to navigate and consider the waves – it has its own nuances," says Sievinen.

During the three-day course on Lake Puruvesi, Sievinen will guide four different groups: children learning to swim, proficient child swimmers, fitness swimmers, and swimrun enthusiasts and triathletes.

"When you want to learn to swim properly, it's good to seek practical knowledge from someone who already masters the technique. Once you learn the technique, swimming becomes a completely different sport," Sievinen adds.

Course Details:

• Group 1: 11:00-11:30 Non-swimmer children (max. 8 children). The group is intended for those aged 5 and older.
• Group 2: 11:45-12:30 Children/youth who can float, glide, dive, and swim crawl for at least 5 meters (max. 10 children).
