The partnership between Federica Pellegrini, Matteo Giunta, and the Little Tibet continues, with Livigno once again chosen as the venue for the swimming school led by Italy’s most famous sports duo.
Livigno, 16/04/2025 – It’s a welcome return that has brought new energy to the AQ1816 facilities, the magnificent Olympic Preparation Center in Livigno located within Aquagranda. AQ1816—an outstanding sports hub and future home of Casa Italia during the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, hosts the latest edition of the Fede Academy, the prestigious swimming school created by Federica Pellegrini and Matteo Giunta and supported by main sponsors Livigno and Aquagranda, Nike Swim as technical sponsor, and Caffè Vergnano 1882, which funds scholarships, the Academy unfolds across the Olympic-size pool, the 25-meter pool, the gym, and the many other top-level sports facilities at AQ1816. It’s a highly anticipated event for many young talents of Italian swimming.
Working alongside young swimmers has always been an incredible source of motivation for me - said Fede. - Having the opportunity to share what I have learned throughout my career—both in the pool and beyond, two complementary aspects of an athlete’s life—is truly a privilege, and also a way for me to give something tangible back to the world of swimming, which has given me so much.
Moreover, it’s wonderful to do so in a place like Livigno, which has truly become a second home for us—a destination that offers everything needed for top-level sports, with outstanding facilities and attention to detail, as well as a wide range of activities to provide the athletes with quality experiences outside the pool. It’s the perfect place for the Fede Academy.
The first to arrive in Livigno, at the end of April, were the boys and girls of the Junior Plus category, aged between 12 and 18. The Junior, Kids, and Open groups will follow in the autumn, highlighting a project designed to suit different age groups and to span the entire sports season.
In addition to the long-standing bond that ties the couple to the Little Tibet, the presence of Giunta and Pellegrini in Livigno with a project focused on young athletes is a further source of pride for the town, which has always promoted sport as a tool for social cohesion and self-development, balancing elite athletes with emerging talents. It’s a shared vision that perfectly reflects Livigno’s DNA and ultimately offers young participants an exceptional growth experience, surrounded by unspoiled nature, state-of-the-art facilities, and the drive to grow and improve.
There is always a search for the right balance between fun and responsibility when it comes to training the next generation of athletes, and the entire message of the Fede Academy revolves around this balance, added Matteo.
To become a high-level swimmer—or even just to aspire to be one—you need method, technique, discipline, attention to detail. In one word: discipline. But at the same time, it’s essential to find the perfect balance to also protect your mental health.
Livigno is the ideal environment because it offers us the opportunity to train in cutting-edge facilities, starting with Aquagranda, which is an Olympic Preparation Center, but also to experience an incredibly welcoming alpine paradise of rare beauty, where young athletes can enjoy a truly immersive experience on many levels, not just in the water.
