Hi SwimTrekker

Our season has been shaping up to be very exciting. Simon has recently returned from a pioneering trip to the Lithuanian lakes and we led our first, but certainly not our last, trip to the Bosphorus Cross Continental Swim.

In this edition we celebrate our SwimTrek guides Trishâ€™s 50th trip by reminiscing about her inspiring SwimTrek journey. We also give an insight in to our recent Bosphorus experience and announce our first trips released for 2015, including the Stunning British Virgin Islands and the motivating Channel and Long Distance Training trips.

If 2015 is just too long to wait, escape from reality, shake off those impending autumn blues and snap up our last remaining availability on Montenegro, Sardinia and Greek Sporades.

The Beautiful BVI

Looking for the ultimate swim adventure for 2015? The beautiful seascape and islands of the British Virgin Islands offer the perfect location for long Island to Island swims and coastal walks. What could be better than a planned trip to the Caribbean to keep that summer feeling through the months of Winter? Head over to our website to find out more.
