Slow, Short & Social Swim Holiday - Lizard Peninsula / West Cornwall

This swimming holiday is specifically set up for swimmers that prefer to have a leisurely, social dip. 

We'll put on a series of stunning, short swims for swimmers that prefer scenery, shorter distance dips/swims... head up breaststroke, slow front crawl or a combination of the two. 

Swims will be based around the stunning Lizard Peninsula and/or the east side of west Cornwall. As such, we'd advise you to base your accommodation around the Porthleven, Helston and the Lizard area. You can base yourself somewhere like Penzance...it'll just require a little more driving. 

All swims are based on the tides and forecast/conditions. We'll plan nice flat swims, for both your safety and enjoyment. 

The main features of this trip are as follows : 

• highly social trip, with stops for coffee, cake, dinner/lunch out...the 'essentials'. 
• the holiday comes at a lower price point, at just £109. 
• shorter swims and dips from 5 to 500m 
• swim for as long as you like, with no enthesis on distance swimming
• we'll go for more accessible swim locations (where the conditions will allow). 
• focusing on the most beautiful swims the conditions will allow 
• in the instance of poor conditions, we may make private lido/lake bookings in the local area 
• same self-drive formula, as our current holidays
• we often encourage car sharing, once in Cornwall

This is a self-drive holiday. We encourage car sharing, which can be arranged on the first day.

We also get people from around 20 years old to our oldest holidays attendee at around 75 years. It's normal for some swimmers to be quite nervous about participating, we get a lot of emails and phone calls. Just remember that swims are based on the conditions...particularly with our slow swimming activity, so you'll likely be swimming in flat, calm conditions.
