I joined the training camp in Rio Maior. The weekend was very well organised. The theory lessons and the swimming practises were very good. Gustavo is a very professional teacher with a lot of experience and knowledge. We also did a mobility gym session where we practiced exercises that help with swimming, very useful. Altogether I learned a lot and had a very nice weekend with lovely people and a nice place to stay with good food. An absolute recommendation to improve your swimming!

Thank you for the lovely feedback! We’re so happy the sunrise swim was a fantastic experience for you. Having the two escorts in the canoe is all about making sure everyone feels safe and relaxed in the water, so it’s great to know you noticed. We hope to see you again for another swim at dawn!

Thank you Kathleen! Nothing beats being in the water as the sun comes up, and it sounds like it was a really special morning. Carlos is a big part of what makes these swims so good, so we’ll make sure he reads this. See you at the next sunrise!

It was a real pleasure to host a water polo team in the water for a different kind of challenge. Swimming side by side as a group is a great way to experience the coast, and we’re delighted you all felt so welcome with us.

Thank you for choosing us to share this swim. We’d love to see you back for another adventure!

I enjoyed my swim at Caxias Beach with Pedro. He is very knowledgeable and a great coach. He gave me some good tips. The area was beautiful and the view of the ocean and city were amazing. I recommend if you are a beginner and want some one to help you learn to swim in open water.

Fabulous swim with excellent guide We loved everything about our swim. Of course, the water and scenery are beautiful, but it was made extra special by our guide Claudia. She was friendly, welcoming, thoughtful and showed us to amazing places we would never have visited on our own. My husband gets sea sick even when swimming, and Claudia was always checking to see that he was comfortable. In addition, the company was super helpful before the day of the swim itself. When the conditions looked unfavourable, they were in regular contact about alternative plans, sending us photos and videos of other places to go. We would highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful There are no words to explain how wonderful the Swim trip to Madeira Island with SwimTogether was but I will try. The team is amazing, they make you feel very welcome and comfortable at all times. Exceptional organization and dedication to let you swim always with the best conditions possible. Safety and comfort of the group is a priority and it can be adjusted to meet all levels. Hotel was perfect in a beautiful location were you can spend free time swimming more or go for some snorkeling in a really special corner. The daily swims were just stunning, the high cliffs, the warm turquoise water, the underwater sea life, it exceeded my already high expectations! If this was not enough, all the group quickly became friends and had a really great time during the week in and out of the water. I highly recommend SwimTogether and this trip. Thank you André and Pedro and SwimTogether, you rock!

João, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review! Reading your words means the world to our whole team.Madeira Island is a truly special place for us, but what really makes these camps unforgettable is the incredible energy that swimmers like you bring to the group. From navigating those stunning high cliffs and turquoise waters together to sharing laughs out of the water, it was absolute magic having you with us.Hearing that you felt safe, supported, and right at home, no matter the conditions or pace, is the highest compliment we could ask for. Building a tight-knit community where everyone connects so naturally is at the heart of everything we do.Pedro and André (and the entire SwimTogether crew) are super grateful for your trust, enthusiasm, and camaraderie throughout the week. You were a vital part of what made this trip so epic!Until the next splash, hopefully see you in the water again soon! 🌊💙

My swim through caves in Portimao This was one of the best open water swims I have had over many years of swimming! When the combination of great company, incredible nature and wonderful sea conditions all combine, a truly incredible experience occurs and I was lucky enough to have that on my swim. My tour guide Claudia was incredible, she tempered her speedy pace to match mine and not only guided me through and into the most incredible caves but also took some epic photos! The pre admin and communication beforehand was fantastic. I’d highly recommend this, even if you think you’re not a great swimmer, you can pop on fins, it really is such a special experience to do. Thanks again Claudia and the team at SwimTogether :)

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Nadine!There is nothing quite like that perfect alignment of calm seas, stunning scenery, and great energy. Claudia was thrilled to guide you through the caves and extra happy to hear you loved the photos! Adapting to your rhythm and making sure you felt comfortable every stroke of the way is exactly what we strive for, so knowing the experience left such an impression truly means the world to our team.Your tip about popping on fins is spot on, too, it's such a great reminder that open water swimming can be accessible and fun for everyone, regardless of experience level.Thank you for trusting us with your swim and for the kind words about our team's communication.
