Selected swimmers from across the North East will have the opportunity to learn, train and be inspired by a world-class team of swimmers, coaches and practitioners at the Swim England North East Region Super Camp on Sunday 22 November.
Taking place at Sunderland Aquatics Centre, the 2026 Super Camp will see Swim England North East collaborate with AP Race to create an experience designed to support swimmers both in and out of the pool.
The Super Camp has been created to give selected swimmers the opportunity to work with a range of coaches and practitioners, bringing together expertise from across the swimming world. The aim is simple: for every swimmer to leave the day better informed, better supported and inspired to continue their development.
A world-class team
AP Race are bringing a fantastic team of experts to the North East for the day, giving swimmers the chance to learn from people with experience at the highest levels of the sport.
The team will include:
- Lily Booker – International swimmer and coach
- Mia Slevin – International swimmer and coach
- Katie Goodburn – International swimmer and coach
- An aquatics specialist injury prevention physiotherapist
- A swimming-specialist sports scientist
- Kevin Pickard – AP Race Development Director
With such a diverse range of expertise available, the day will provide swimmers with different perspectives on what it takes to develop, perform and thrive in swimming.
The focus will extend beyond simply getting in the pool, with opportunities to explore the wider factors that can support a swimmer’s development, performance and wellbeing.
Supporting swimmers, coaches and parents
The Super Camp is also about creating a shared learning experience for the wider swimming community.
Parents and coaches will have the opportunity to spend time with the AP Race team and access further information and learning opportunities throughout the day, with more details to be shared ahead of the camp.
This reflects AP Race’s wider mission to create inspiring, impactful and lasting experiences for swimmers, parents and coaches, helping to support the next generation of the sport.
As part of the Swim England North East Region Super Camp, we are pleased to share as part of the day, we will be facilitating a coach CPD that is free for club coaches to access (DBS and CPD required). We believe in ensuring club coaches have ongoing support and development as part of their coaching journey and having worked with AP Race on previous CPD activities in the region, know this will be a valuable opportunity for coaches to be a part of.

A partnership built around development
Swim England North East is delighted to be working with AP Race for the 2026 Super Camp.
The partnership brings together the regional swimming community with a team that has a clear commitment to athlete development and to creating meaningful experiences for swimmers, coaches and parents.
For the selected swimmers, it promises to be a fantastic opportunity to step outside their usual training environment, meet new people, hear different perspectives and take away ideas that they can apply to their own swimming.
Whether it is learning from an international swimmer, understanding more about injury prevention, exploring the role of sports science or simply gaining a new perspective on their own development, the Super Camp is designed to give swimmers something to think about, something to take away and something to aspire to.
We look forward to welcoming our selected swimmers, their parents and coaches to Sunderland Aquatics Centre on Sunday 22 November for what promises to be a very special day.
Swim England North East × AP Race – inspiring the next generation.
