5 Days of Swimming

Service Description

We have 5 days of swimming planned to explore the Jurassic Coast. Brownsea Island Old Harry Rocks Dancing Ledge Durdle Door Portland Bill We hope to visit them all! Swims will vary each day, with a minimum distance of 1.25km up to 3km but we will adapt each swim to the abilities of those on the swims. Speed is not important as these will be guided swims, with the emphasis on exploring the stunning Jurassic Coastline. We will set each day 48hrs beforehand according to weather conditions. All itineraries have a walking option for those that only want to do 1 swim. Friday night we will swim at Lulworth cove and have fish n chips on the beach afterwards.

Although the Lulworth swim will be most likely on the weekend due to the firing ranges being live during the week. Come and do 1 day or all 4 the choice is yours. If you would like to camp somewhere there are plenty of local campsites available. We would suggest basing yourself around Lulworth, Winfrith Newburgh or Crossways to be fairly central to all the swims.
