Bay & Pass Camp
Sheltered-water swimming in the morning, a 30km climb by Thursday.
House of Triathlon camp · Hội An 2026
About This Camp
Nha Trang sits behind a long island-sheltered bay, which is what makes the swimming here dependable rather than weather-dependent. The coast road south towards Cam Ranh is wide, long and rideable for aerobic volume; turn inland instead and the road towards Da Lat climbs for more than 30km, which is the longest sustained climb on the whole calendar. A week for the athlete who wants both, and an international airport twenty minutes from the water.
Camp Focus
Two things a single base rarely offers: protected open water for real swim volume, and a climb long enough to change what your legs know. Flat coastal riding to build the week, the Khanh Le pass to finish it.
The week
A typical week, session by session

What these sessions are
- Arrival
- Land, build the bike, meet the group. Nothing is trained on the first day.
- Evening debrief
- The group sits down with the coaches: the day's data, pacing, fuelling, and what changes tomorrow.
- Open water
- Sea or sheltered-water swimming as a group, with cover on the water.
- Endurance ride
- Steady aerobic riding, at a pace you could hold all day. Most of a camp week is this.
- Easy run
- Running kept genuinely easy, off the bike or on its own.
- Pool swim
- Technique and a structured set, in a pool, where the set can actually be held.
- Bike intervals
- Structured efforts above endurance pace, with the recoveries written in.
- Recovery
- Mobility, an easy swim, or nothing. The session that makes the next hard one possible.
- Long ride
- The long day on the bike. Route recced before you arrive, support vehicle following.
- Free
- Nothing scheduled. The afternoon is yours.
- Run intervals
- Structured running: repetitions and controlled recoveries.
- Climbing block
- Sustained uphill work, on the best climbing road the base has.
- Departure
- Bikes packed, transfers out. The camp closes on the Friday it opened on.
Indicative structure, not a contract. Sessions move for the weather, the sea and the group that turns up. There are deliberately no durations, distances or intensities here: those get written for the athletes actually on the camp, once the coaches have seen them train.
The destination
About Nha Trang / Cam Ranh
Best season
February-August (before the autumn rains)
Terrain
Bay / Coastal + climb
A long sheltered bay dotted with islands, an international airport at Cam Ranh, and the Khanh Le pass rising inland towards Da Lat: a rare combination of flat coastal volume and a genuinely long climb from the same base.
Why train here
The bay gives protected water for open-water sets that hold up even when the open coast does not. The coast road south towards Cam Ranh is long, wide and rideable; turn inland instead and the road to Da Lat climbs for over 30km. Cam Ranh (CXR) takes international flights, so the road from the plane to the first session is short.
