We're looking at 3 swims over the course of the morning-afternoon, totalling 3km. *You can swim less, if you so choose. 

The idea is simple. Park up in Carbis Bay, which is far easier for parking...than the rest of St Ives. Then get the train into Porthminster/St Ives. 

Once in Porthminster, you'll walk through St Ives and meet us at Bamaluz Beach. From here, we'll swim approx 700m up to and along/towards the harbour wall or over towards Porthgwidden (depending on the conditions), before turning around and completing a circular route back to the beach. Swimming anywhere from 400-700m. 

Next up, we'll walk back to Porthminster and swim a stunning circular route from the beach. Approx. distance 500-1000m...depending on where you turn around.

Last and by no means least, we'll aim to get the train from Porthminster back to Carbis Bay. We'll then pop down to the corner and swim around the headland towards Porthkidney and back or possibly along the headland. Another flexible distance swim of approx 600-1200m. 

Total distance : approx 3km. You could easily swim 1.6-2km, if 3km turns out to be slightly out of your comfort zone.
