The training camp follows an intensive daily schedule designed to maximise altitude adaptation and technical refinement. Swimmers train in the morning from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM and resume in the evening from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM, combining endurance work, race pace sets, and recovery protocols.

Training at Bhutan’s altitude is expected to briefly enhance the squad’s endurance, oxygen efficiency, and race readiness when they return to sea-level competitions, making the camp strategically valuable ahead of major international events.

Importantly, the programme is also creating valuable knowledge exchange opportunities. As part of his coaching role, Sejwal regularly interacts with young swimmers currently being trained by the Bhutan Aquatics Federation, offering technical guidance, race strategy insights, and high-performance training tips. This mentorship component is expected to significantly benefit Bhutan’s next generation of swimmers.

This collaboration marks the second time the Bhutan Aquatics Federation has engaged in such an international high-altitude training initiative. It represents another positive step in Bhutan’s growing involvement in high performance sport, while strengthening development pathways for swimmers across the region.
