There's no better way to remember 2024 than by looking back on memories you captured for this annual competition...
We always debate how we will top the previous year. Well, 2024 has been eventful and special to say the least. We've hit so many milestones and had countless moments to celebrate both in and out of water. Following is a selection of highlights captured by our guests and guides around the world.
This year, the prizes were also better than ever before, which might have something to do with the incredible quality of content that made our shortlist.
Thanks so much to everyone who submitted entries - this was no easy task for SwimTrek HQ to choose their winners.
