it's a mystery ...

You won't know where we are staying until we get there! Although, we can promise you:

• Hotel accommodation, minimum 3* standard
• Twin / double rooms allocated as standard
• There may (or may not!) be a hotel change each night!
• Sole use supplement available for £90

ITINERARY

All swim activities are planned with safety at their heart. Open-water swimming is always governed by tides and the weather, and as a result planned swims may need to be changed, depending on the prevailing weather conditions at the time. 

friday

We will meet you at our London location at 2pm ready to board the Big Yellow Bus. Get to know our guides and each other on the way to our first swim spot. After a swim, we will whisk you off to our accommodation for night one. Once settled, there is the option to join the group for dinner if you wish.

SATURDAY 

After breakfast in our hotel, we will take you to our morning swim spot. After a swim, we will find a place to eat lunch (picnic / shops or takeaway options available). After lunch, we are back on the bus to find our afternoon swim spot, and then onwards to our Saturday night accommodation.

SUNDAY 

You thought things couldn't get any more mysterious - but no! Off we go again after breakfast to our final swim spot of the weekend. Enjoy a dip with new friends before we board the coach and head back to London. return time 2pm.
