Slow, Short & Social Swim Holiday - West Cornwall
This swimming holiday is specifically set up for swimmers that prefer to have a leisurely, social dip. Covering distances of basically 0-700m...depending on the swimmer.
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, for example, could include a swim through Mousehole harbour, including a short swim out of the harbour mouth or a swim from the beach at Marazion, swims in front of St Michael's Mount, Porthcurno, Carbis Bay... Swims that people may not attempt by themselves but are still within their comfort zone.
Once we've seen an accurate forecast 2-3 days prior to the holiday, we'll email out the itinerary. Swimmers can then choose which swims they'd like to do or simply do all of them...
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 £119.
- shorter swims and dips from 0 to 700m
- swim for as long as you like, with no emphasis on distance swimming
- we'll go for more accessible swim locations (provided the conditions allow...)
- focusing on the most beautiful swims the conditions will allow
- in the instance of poor conditions, we may make private lido or lake booking in the local area
- same self-drive formula, as our current holidays
- we often encourage car sharing, once in Cornwall
We're happy to advise swimmers on where to book accommodation, across a range of budgets. We'd strongly advise that swimmers book their accommodation around the Penzance area.
This is a self-drive holiday. We encourage car sharing, which can be arranged on the first day.
