This was a great trip for wild swimmers of all ages and stages. Well organised by experienced guides, with lots to do but also easy to opt in and out. Basic accommodation in a Youth Hostel in a beautiful location. All food provided. A highlight was a waterfall dip after a short hike in the sunshine.

Wonderful trip. Mel, Rich and the team were outstanding, both with the organisation of the swims and looking after us at the accommodation. Good food (and cakes), excellent company. Already thinking about what to book for next year!

I can't praise the team enough for their positive attitude and problem solving skills, the food was excellent& as someone with an intolerance i cant thank then enough for their care of me. Swimming in the crystal clear waters in Snowdonia was fabulous the backdrop of the scenery made it an amazing experience, the team provided a safe environment with joy & fun. Thank you

What a fantastic few days spent with great people and excellent leaders. Weather didn’t play ball but the leaders found alternative safe swims and hikes ensuring we all had a good time and were not disappointed. Everything was done so professionally and at no time did I feel unsafe - I had complete trust in this team who are insanely qualified. I will return.
