My inaugural SwimTrek in Montenegro was a deep-blue dream, with lush settings, gorgeous accommodation, and delightful guides who expertly supported hours of soul-satisfying swims. SwimTrek exceeded my high expectations in every category, including value for money, safety awareness and the boost to my swimming confidence and technique.
