Our Awards

As pioneers in the swim travel industry, we have always loved creating swimming holidays that will surprise and inspire open water swimmers. We are market leaders and the world's first provider of swimming holidays, recognised by some of the most prestigious awarding bodies as delivering an exceptional service.

Our awards are not just a testament to the quality of our trips, but also the satisfaction they provide to our wonderful guests.

British Travel Awards

The British Travel Awards is the largest consumer poll on companies operating in the UK leisure and tourism sector.

SwimTrek are particularly proud to have won multiple British Travel Awards, several years running! These awards matter so much to us because they are voted for by the public. So, we thank our passionate SwimTrek supporters for continuing to vote for us each year.


The Queen's Awards For Enterprise

The Queen's Awards are the highest official UK awards for British business. Only a handful of companies were selected each year to be honoured with the Queen's recognition of outstanding achievement in UK business in the categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.

SwimTrek won the Queen's Award For Enterprise in the innovation category, recognising the pioneering aspect of the company and the inspiring work founder Simon Murie and SwimTrek HQ have achieved in the swimming holidays market.
