James Ewart Itinerary

There are two planned swims per day based on how you progress during the week. Most days will also involve a swim seminar, or video feedback session. The below is a very rough guide and we will adapt the week carefully for each individual. Nature and the weather can be unpredictable, so your flexibility is important. All swims are planned with safety at their heart, and your guides will adapt the plan day by day to ensure the best possible experience.
