Tennis, Swim & Grill Full Day
Tennis match in the morning, Aare swim to cool down at noon, proper grill to finish
Three things in one day: a proper tennis session with ball machine coaching in the morning, Aare river cooling at noon, and a grilled meal to finish. Konrad plays and coaches in the morning, swims alongside in the afternoon, and runs the grill in the evening.
The physical arc of the day is deliberate — tennis in the morning coolness, the cold Aare as a midday reset, then food and recovery. Works beautifully in April through September.
Itinerary
Tennis — ball machine session
Court booked, ball machine set up. Konrad coaches footwork and stroke technique. Up to 3 players in rotation.
Match play
Singles or doubles depending on the group. Konrad plays or coaches from the baseline depending on the level.
Drive to the Aare
Wetsuits on. Konrad takes the group to his favourite entry below Thun — quiet, remote, and reliably empty.
Aare swim
Into the current. 90-minute float with gravel bank stops.
Grill setup
Back to the bank or a nearby outdoor space. Konrad fires the grill and prepares the meat and vegetables.
Grill lunch
Eat where you cooked. Cold drinks, sun, recovery.
