Slow Swimming...Swimming Holiday 2025

For this holiday we'd recommend staying in the Penzance area. This is a self-drive holiday. Whilst we encourage car sharing over the weekend, you'll still need access to a car. 

We've also aimed this holiday at the slow and steady crowd...and we've added the extra option of a Polgoon Vineyard Tour (details at the bottom of the text). With this holiday we've simply chosen a great time of year to visit...just before the school holidays and gone 'off-peak'. Cornwall will be nice and quiet, the water will have adequately warmed up and we'll simply offer the same old world class swims that we normally do and marginally shorter distances than we normally would. We get really busy in the summer on the weekends, so we've simply chosen a quieter time of the week and offered a substantial discount.  

Swims will take place at around 9-9.30am on all 3 days, 2 swims on the Tuesday and Wednesday and 1 swim on Thursday morning. The second swim will take place after lunch time, anywhere from 1-2pm. Swims will be appox. 800-1500m in length. We finish early, giving you plenty of time to relax on the beach or make plans in the local area. As with all of our holidays, we simply ask that you can comfortably cover that distance. Speed isn't really an issue (particularly on this holiday). If you have any concerns please contact us direct. 

Participants will be emailed approx 2-3 days before the date of the holiday with exact times and locations for the swims. We do this as we can view an accurate forecast and plan the most spectacular (and safe) swims possible. 

For this swim we advise you to book accommodation in the Penzance area...obviously you can book accommodation further afield, it'll just require more travel. We're happy to hand out advice for accommodation on request. 

With this holiday taking place midweek, you could also spend the rest of the week exploring Cornwall. With facilities like the Tate and Exchange Galleries on St Ives/Penzance...as well as the Jubilee Pool Lido etc on your doorstep. 

*We've included the wine tour in the past and everyone had a fabulous time...so I thought I'd bring it back for 2025! We'll organise a mini-bus for the group, from a central Penzance location at 6pm, on the Wednesday night. This is an additional option, so if it doesn't sound appealing, simply don't select the additional option. We have added a few additional places, in case any non-swimming visitors would like to join. Polgoon are a multi-award winning Cornish vineyard...find out more - CLICK HERE
