Our Partnerships & Charities
The sheer number of outdoor swimmers around the world accelerates every year! SwimTrek is incredibly proud to take an active role in this ever-growing community. From helping to run swim races and iconic events, sharing stories and interviews about fellow swimmers, helping newcomers hit the open water with our world class coaches, and, of course, whisking you off to some of the best and most remote locations anywhere on the map - we're thrilled to be part of this big adventure with you all!
Also, we're not alone in helping to spread and encourage participation in this unique sport. Here are a few of the fantastic organisations we work with to get you all happily watered as often as possible.
