Meet on Friday at 10.00am and then travel in convoy to the first swim. Th location will depend on what the tide and wind is doing that day, but rest assured it'll be a beautiful local gem. Here we’ll hold an hour long beach safety course, where we’ll go over general beach safety, rip currents, reading the conditions, what to do in a rip current etc.
We then typically take you to any number of top notch café’s for lunch (depending on where we swim) and look to swim again at around
3-3.30pm.
We typically book a table at the Jubilee Pool for an evening meal and social. You also get the opportunity to chat to the instructors informally and ask any number of questions.
*meet on the Friday at Tesco Supermarket in Penzance (TR18 3DU). Just on the left as you come through the access road to the car park
Day 2 (usually Saturday) – Meet up at 10am for our first wild dip, again we’ll recommend a spot for lunch and we generally chat through topics during lunch, like stroke technique, open water swimming techniques etc…if anyone would like to. 3.30pm we’ll hold a stroke technique
clinic and wild dip session in Mousehole Harbour.
We typically leave Saturday evening free so you can explore as you like.
*Here we’d recommend somewhere like the Tolcarne Inn (Newlyn) for dinner – it has a Michelin star for affordable dining.
Day 3 - Wild dip at 9am on Penzance sea front (Battery Rocks if possible), followed by a visit to the Geothermal pool (Jubilee Lido) at 9.30am. We’ll then book the group in for breakfast and a coffee on us.
There’s some down-time until 2pm, where we’ll meet up at a designated point and carry out our last swim.

You can choose to organise your own accommodation or book a camper van from our partner.
Once your booking is complete we'll send you a confirmation email which will include a link to their site. You don't have to book with them, but it's a great way to enhance your adventure and provides transport to and from your trip too.
If van life isn't for you, you can just book your adventure here as normal and book whatever accommodation you fancy. Let us know if you'd like our recommendations.
Nope, this is open to all levels including complete beginners.
The weekend will involve multiple wild swims so you'll want to be able to swim in open water for extended periods of time but you don't need to be a pro or even a fast swimmer.
You'll need to be able to
You don't need to participate in all of the swims. We can (and do) split the groups up sometimes, doing a longer and shorter version of each swim.
We will tailor things to the level of the group(s) so there's no pressure.
If you're unsure, just get in touch before booking.
The quick answer to this one is, no. We will take a look at the conditions and then decide where best to swim. As you'll see in the photos, we're usually swimming in flat, glassy, clear water so don't worry.
This will depend on the group and the conditions but swims are usually between 1km and 3km with a number of potential exits along the way if you're not feeling up to the whole distance.
Yes, all our trips are for people of 18 years of age and older.
