Tour Highlights
Ideal preparation for swimmers who are training for a 10km swim race or other marathon swim event
Support and encouragement from world-class coaches with extensive marathon swimming backgrounds
Focused open water training, combined with in depth video analysis of your technique in the pool
Fantastic chance to meet like-minded participants in a wonderful training environment
Q&A sessions with your SwimTrek coaches
Whether you are preparing for an upcoming 10km swim race, a marathon swim event somewhere in the world, or simply want to challenge yourself, this open water swim coaching camp is the ideal way to ensure that both your body and your mind are prepared for the challenges that you’ll face as you push yourself to 10km and beyond.
With a team of experienced marathon swimmers to support you throughout the camp, these six days of open water coaching includes video analysis of your swim technique, as well as key coaching points to improve your overall performance in the water. Q&A sessions with your SwimTrek coaches give you a fantastic opportunity to discuss your progress and focus on future training needs.
After building up the swim distances over the first few days, you will have the chance to complete a full 10km swim to truly gauge the improvement that you’ve made throughout your time in the water.
Our accommodation in the town of Porto Petro overlooks the marina and is close to swim locations, which helps to optimise the mix of coaching and relaxation time throughout your trip.
Who is this trip for?
This coaching camp is ideal for swimmers who are planning to take part in an open water marathon swim event of up to 15km, or those who are looking to challenge themselves in a safe and supportive open water environment.
Whether your marathon swim is in cold water, warm water, in the sea or in a lake, this camp is perfect for those who are looking to improve their stroke and endurance under the watchful eye of our experienced coaches. The camp features long and short open water swims with full safety cover and incorporates technical analysis and a nutrition seminar over the course of your stay.

I joined on the 10km training camp as I was training for a 10km race in the summer, the ILDSA championships in Enniskillen. Well not only did I finish but won it! Thanks so much to Cliff, Ana-Carin and Kelly for all their help and encouragement during the course.

Another excellent well planned trip which I enjoyed and learnt from as well as improving my swimming and being in a nice location.

All coaches were out of this world. So humbling to meet them and work with them. They made the trip outstanding every day.
Amanda J, Ethiopia - 2019 -
I have been saving up and training for this trip for eight months. I went out with a mission to make myself proud and came back not only with a huge sense of achievement for my swim but lifelong friends and a huge sense of gratitude for the kindness and support offered by the coaches. Travelling on your own can be quite intimidating as a fiftysomething lady. All of my fears were allayed by a hugely warm welcome and a bunch of gorgeous people from all over the world with a shared interest and common goal. I would leap at the chance of going on another SwimTrek holiday. Since I have been back in the UK I have been sea swimming every day in the cold sea and bossed the waves with a hugely increased sense of capability and confidence in my own ability.
Amanda B, UK -2019 -
A fantastic few days that really focus on swimming 10k and cover all aspects. The guides are knowledgeable, experienced and supportive, but great fun too. The credit to the guides is everyone on my trip successfully completed the 10k swim and the atmosphere was euphoric.
Sandra J, UK - 2019 -
Fantastic trip, it was a really tough challenge but support and encouragement from the guides and my fellow swimmers was brilliant and I left with a new perspective on what I'm capable of and a real sense of achievement

The quality and professionalism of the guides that we had was beyond my expectations. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Fiona and Cliff were fantastic and experienced guides. They made you laugh, always looked after your safety and encouraged you to go beyond what you thought was possible!
Tina, L. UK-2018 -
An unforgettable opportunity to challenge and develop my swimming with a very well qualified coaching team and a diverse group of swimmers who bristled with enthusiasm but remembered to also have fun!
