🏊 Exclusive experience

Open water
swim camps

Held every year in Sardinia: guided morning swims inside protected bays, open-water technique sessions, and a dedicated team including an instructor, a sports doctor and a nutritionist. An exclusive Sardinia Guide experience, in partnership with Acquaforma.

🏊 Levels for everyone 📅 May – September 🏨 Camp + hotel package 🌊 5 bases in Sardinia

The open water swim camp is an experience we organise every year in Sardinia in partnership with Acquaforma, a company specialised in this discipline. Every day, a guided swim inside protected bays, with safe crossings and dedicated open-water technique sessions.

The group is followed by a specialised instructor for the entire week. The programme also includes a session with a sports doctor on the key topics of the sport and a session with a nutrition expert: a complete approach, not just a sporting one.

You need to already know how to swim freestyle, even if you only train in a pool, and a non-competitive medical certificate is required. For those who enjoy the group spirit, there's also the "Friends" format, with two afternoons dedicated to additional outdoor activities.

For every level
Three levels, one sea for everyone

The camp is designed for swimmers with open-water experience, from beginners building their relationship with the sea to advanced swimmers chasing distance.
