When should I arrive in Phuket?
On Saturday 6 July.
Can I stay before and/or after the Camp?
Yes, absolutely. Please email me and I will connect you with the resort managers.
What swimming ability do I need to take part?
Please note this is not a learn to swim clinic.
Swimmers must be able to comfortably swim a minimum of 1 – 2 km Freestyle without stopping in the sea.
There will be a wide range of speeds and swimming abilities from intermediate to experienced swimmers and we will ensure that we match the correct level of challenge with your level.
What do I need to bring?
For your training sessions, you will need a pull buoy, flippers, open water tow buoy, and hand paddles (starting with small sizes is preferable if you are new to them). You can buy your swimming gear from Outpace shop at the lowest price!
It is always good to have the choice of having both tinted and clear lenses goggles for various weather conditions, especially as the training pools are outside.
Ear plugs for sensitive ears.
Finally, plenty of sun screen !
What are the COVID traveling requirements?
As of the time of writing this, vaccinated travelers entering the country must provide proof they have been fully vaccinated. No Covid tests are required before departure.
Unvaccinated or not-fully-vaccinated travelers must show proof of a negative result from an RT-PCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) test or professional RAT (Rapid Antigen Test) within 72 hours of travel to Thailand.

If this is the case, we will contact you to advise you of such increases, and we reserve the right to collect the additional amount from you.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation by you

Your payment is fully refundable less the 500 NZD deposit up to 90 days before the start day of the camp.
Between 90 and 60 days we will refund 50% of your payments (less the non-refundable 500 NZD deposit)
Cancellations made less than 60 days prior to the camp start date will incur a 100% cost.
Cancellation by Outpace Swimming
In the unlikely event that Outpace Swim Camp cannot be held on the advertised dates for reasons outside of organisers control caused by Acts of God, or force majeure such as (but not restricted to) weather or equipment disruptions, acts of government or other authorities, communicable diseases, wars, hostilities, civil disturbances, strikes, riots, pilferage, medical or customs regulations or requirements), the camp will be rescheduled and the deposit and any instalment payments will be transferred in full to this rescheduled camp. If you choose not to attend the rescheduled camp then a 500 NZD cancellation fee will apply, with any excess payments refunded to you.
Do I need insurance?
Travel Insurance is compulsory for all camp attendees.
All attendees must provide a copy of their travel insurance policy to Outpace Swimming prior to the start of the camp.
Thailand COVID insurance
