“Offering this opportunity to young swimmers in the US and beyond has always been a real passion for me,” Krayzelburg said. “I want to provide these swimmers the opportunity to experience what I was so lucky to experience in my career. This is truly a unique and inspirational adventure. Jason and I both significantly benefited from visiting Israel in our careers . We decided it was time to share our passion for this cultural experience and our swimming knowledge with a new generation in hopes that we can inspire future Olympians.”

2016 will be the inaugural year for Champions Swim & Travel Experience in Israel.

  • The camp will be held in and around Tel-Aviv, Israel visiting some of the most famous culturally significant tourist locations in the world.
  • Training will take place at the Wingate Institute, Israel’s National Center for Physical Education and Sport, host of the 2015 Short Course European Championships.
  • Krayzelburg and Lezak will participate in the camp with hands-on coaching, video analysis, touring, and more.

“This is very important to me because I grew up hearing stories of Israel. Later in my career, I had the opportunity to visit, train, and compete there and it made a huge impact on my life. I know this experience will inspire swimmers to explore and understand their heritage as well as give Lenny and me the chance to share the things we’ve learned in our careers,” said Lezak. “This is a great chance for young swimmers to experience Israel while increasing their knowledge of our sport.”

Champions Swim & Travel Experience will feature eight days of travel, training, and cultural excursions in and around Israel for swimmers ages 13-18.

Out of the pool campers will take part in cultural and educational experiences touring one of the oldest and most historical countries in the world.
