BEST FEST PRO CLINICS
Alex Studzinski
Alex is a prolific, professional open water swimmer from Germany. With a CV that boasts podium places in races all over the World; from Waikiki to Lake Windermere; 1 mile to dozens of km’s; from the FINA Grand Prix series to the German National Champion title – he’s been there, done it and got the swim hat! He’s also been an Elite BEST Fester from the very beginning; always in the mix for the podium and an expert in measuring his effort to get the right result. Alex is the only person we know to have been ‘stung’ by a Sea Cucumber, but you’ll only hear about that by joining one of his sessions!
Beatrix Studzinski
Beatrix has an impressive pool swimming background at German National level, including multiple individual & relay team National titles and records. At her peak, she raced at the FINA World Cup and has also been successful at University and Masters level. A switch of focus to open water saw medals won at the Great Swim Series and Henley Swim (UK), Waikiki Rough Water Swim (Hawaii), BEST Fest (Mallorca!) and others. As one half of our dynamic German duo by being married to Alex, Beatrix (previously Beatrix Eisel) has a wonderful coaching manner that swimmers respond to and really benefit from.
