Join us for a weekend long swim holiday in South Devon, at a bargain price of £99 for the weekend. This new style of weekend holiday we are trying means we can offer the weekend at a lower price. We supply the swimming, you supply the rest. This gives options for you to stay in a hotel, a B&B, a friends house, your van, or a tent! We suggest staying near Kingsbridge, as this will reduce driving for you, most of our swims are between Salcombe and Plymouth. You will also need to get yourself to the start of the swims, but we can help match people up for car sharing.
We suggest you are happy swimming 1km in 45-50 mins for each swim as a minimum, this will mean you get to access the best coastline. We swim 1km in the morning, and 1km in the afternoon, this can be tailored to the group, and forecasts.

All swims and safety cover
Theory lessons if wanted
Post swim Hot Drinks and Snacks
Not included:
