Kieran Bird Aquatics

Welcome to Kieran Bird Aquatics

I'm Kieran, a double Olympian and Paris 2024 Olympic champion. I've never regretted a session I enjoyed, and my best results came when I loved the training behind them. My mission is to help young swimmers get faster while loving the process: training with purpose, chasing their goals with a smile, and growing as people along the way.

Why are our camps called Swimming4You?

The name carries our two goals for every camp. First, we want swimmers in the pool because they want to be there, not because they have to be. They're swimming for themselves, and every camp is built to spark, or reignite, a real love for the sport.

Second, the four. In a race, lane four goes to the fastest qualifier. We want every swimmer to leave the week faster than they arrived, and a step closer to lane four.

Your swimmer's week

Seven 90-minute pool sessions across five days. Swimmers train in lanes with others of a similar speed, so every session is pitched at the right level. A full camp brochure is sent to every swimmer once they've applied.

Out of the pool

Our strength and conditioning partners, Zone 2 Performance, run pre-pool, post-pool and land sessions that swimmers can take home and build into their own routines. Classroom sessions with Kieran and the team cover the other side of performance.

Evenings and downtime

Our dedicated Kieran Bird Aquatics chaperone team looks after swimmers every evening, giving them a relaxed, social space to unwind away from training.

What's included

Four nights' accommodation
All meals from Monday dinner to Friday breakfast
Seven coached pool sessions
Pre-pool, post-pool and land sessions with Zone 2 Performance
Classroom sessions with Kieran and the team
A Swimming4You team cap for every swimmer on arrival
Every swimmer gets the chance to wear Kieran's Olympic gold medal on the last day of camp

Book your place on our next camp

There's no entry standard. Swimmers do need to be comfortable completing seven 90-minute sessions over five days.

When you apply, we'll ask for your swimmer's 100m freestyle personal best so we can place them in the right lane.

Swim coaches

Kieran Bird

Founder and Head Coach

I started swimming at 10 and worked my way from grassroots and county galas all the way to the top of an Olympic podium. My journey from Ponds Forge to Paris hasn't been plain sailing, and there have been plenty of lows alongside the highs.

Swimming has taught me lessons nothing else could. It's given me lifelong friends and introduced me to people I'd never have met otherwise. It took me years to learn that the finish line isn't the whole story. When you love the training, the times and medals tend to follow.

That's why I created Kieran Bird Aquatics: to help swimmers get faster, become the best version of themselves and fall in love with the sport for life. All with a smile on their face. (Yes, even during the hard sessions!)

Matt Bosher

Strength and Conditioning Coach

I'm a strength and conditioning coach and applied sports scientist, with a First Class degree in Sport and Exercise Science and the internationally recognised CSCS certification. I work with elite athletes across several sports, including national and international swimmers, and most recently supported Kieran's preparation for the Commonwealth Games.

On camp, I lead the land training, giving swimmers the tools and understanding to train smarter out of the water, so they're stronger in it.

Swimming4You Camps

FAQs

Everything parents need to know before camp.

Booking

What ages is the camp for?

Swimmers aged 11 to 16.

Is there an entry standard?

No. Swimmers do need to be comfortable completing seven 90-minute sessions over five days.

How are lanes decided?

By the 100m freestyle personal best you give us when booking, so every swimmer trains with others of a similar speed.

What if we need to cancel?

Our booking terms, including refunds, are on the Book Now page.

The stay

What are the room arrangements?

Most swimmers have their own single room. If your swimmer would like to share with a friend of the same sex, just let us know when booking.

Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?

Yes, as long as we know in advance. Tell us on the swimmer form after booking and we'll arrange it with the venue.

What happens in the evenings?

Our chaperone team runs evening activities and gives swimmers their own supervised space to relax, hang out with friends and get to know their fellow campers.

Can swimmers bring their mobile phones?

Yes. Phones can be used during the day and in downtime. Each evening they're handed in to staff and returned the next morning, so swimmers sleep well and recover for the next day.

What should my swimmer bring?

Swimming kit for the whole week, clothes for land training and relaxing, and the usual extras like a phone charger, headphones, a book and an eye mask. You'll get a full checklist in the camp brochure once you've booked.

What are the drop-off and pick-up times?

Exact times are in the confirmation pack we send out before camp.

Safety and contact

What are the staff-to-swimmer ratios?

During the day, there's at least one member of staff for every nine swimmers. In the evenings and overnight, there's at least one chaperone for every 12 swimmers.

What happens in an emergency?

A qualified first aider is on site at all times. We collect emergency contacts and medical information for every swimmer before camp, and parents are contacted straight away if anything happens.

Can I contact my child during the week?

Of course. Swimmers can call home during downtime, and our team is contactable throughout the week.

If you'd like to watch a session or visit, get in touch and we'll arrange it.
