Simon Murie

Simon founded SwimTrek, after spending many years organising open water swimming trips for himself and others. Originally from Australia, Simon lives in the UK and prior to SwimTrek, was working overseas in the mining industry.

He was introduced to open water early by both his mother and father. His most memorable open water swim was the Hellespont in Turkey, which he completed just under 10 years ago. A solo English Channel Swimmer and swim coach, he still guides on some of the tours himself.

Continuing his swimming adventures around the world Simon plans to add the strait of Gibraltar to his list of memerable accomplishments.

He spends a lot of his time now, scouting for new SwimTrek locations. You can contact Simon directly at simon@swimtrek.com
