Our guided swim retreats are aimed at swimmers who would like to challenge themselves to swim slightly longer distances, perhaps out and around an island or from one island to another.  While our swims are not necessarily about distance or speed you should be a competent outdoor swimmer with some experience of sea swimming. We do two swims a day and each vary between 500m and 2k depending on weather conditions and how everyone feels on the day.  

The waters are at their warmest so long swims can be enjoyed in 'skins' without the worry of getting cold. We advise wetsuits for longer swims as the open seas can be challenging and wetsuits provide protection and buoyancy. 

Other activities you can enjoy while you're here include yoga, massage, guided walks and wildlife tours. If weather conditions are good we can take a boat trip out to the Treshnish Isles for a spectacular swim in Fingal's Cave. Not all of these activities are included in the price so please contact us for more details. 

In Autumn the days are longer and the islands quieter, the heather is a vibrant purple and it's seal pupping season!
