2025 adventures in the world’s best open waters - our way to connect you to fellow swimmers, stunning locations and initiatives that are kind to our planet...
Our partnership with 1% For The Planet continues, which offers 1% of our annual revenue to environmental partners. In our approach to B Corp status, we are building relationships with more fantastic organisations, like SeaTrees, who protect and regenerate blue carbon coastal ecosystems.
We also launched our huge Galapagos Explorer package for 2025! Meet the wildlife of 8 different islands and roam inland with adventurous hikes. When you book this trip, 1% revenue (not profit) goes directly to the Galapagos Conservation Trust to support local conservation efforts. 2025 is all about trips that make a difference!
For all our newcomers, we’ve launched a fresh Introduction To Open Water in Cyprus, leaving from 31 May. Swimmers can build confidence with our world class coaches. Benefit from in-depth video analysis as we progress from an open-air Olympic-sized swimming pool to the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Finally, we were thrilled to win the Happiness Award in 2024 from Best Workplaces In Travel! A huge thank you to all of you who travel with us around the world. It's a privilege to curate your aquatic adventures and we couldn't do this without you.
Let’s make 2025 our biggest and happiest year yet!
