Preparation:

The athletes began active and systematic training back in November 2024 when the date and venue of the World Championships were announced. From September to May, they trained 5 times a week for at least 3.5 hours per day, participated in 2 training camps, and competed in 7 international events.

During the summer, training intensity will increase to 6 hours daily in the pool plus gym sessions according to the preparation plan:

July 2–31 — training in Tallinn.

August 1–8 — training camp in Vinni.

August 11–16 — urban training camp in Jüri.

August 18–22 — training camp in Kohtla-Järve.

August 23 — departure to Athens.

August 26–30 — World Youth Championships in Athens.

The team is doing everything possible to perform successfully at the World Championships, incorporating advice from international-level judges in their compulsory and free routines.

Cost of participation:

 Preparatory camps and participation in such a major event require not only tremendous effort from the athletes but also significant financial resources. Most of the financial burden falls on the parents. Thanks to support from Eesti Kultuurkapital, Eesti Ujumisliit, Kohtla-Järve City Government, and Eesti Veespordialade Kool, the amount has been reduced to €33,000, which still remains a significant burden for families.

We are reaching out to you to help our team represent Estonia on the global level! All collected funds will go towards travel, accommodation, and the preparation of our athletes.
