The most unforgettable swim camp in Madeira - The Madeira Swim Camp was my very first swim camp, and honestly, I’m not sure how any other swim camp could top it. I’ve heard that the Azores Swim Camp—also run by SwimTogether—is an amazing experience too, so that’s already on my list for next year. As someone fairly new to open water swimming, I was a little nervous when I signed up. The advertised daily swim distance was 3.5 km, and I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to keep up with the group. But I decided to go for it anyway, because I wanted to experience ocean swimming in a safe, guided setting—with turquoise waters and epic views. What I really appreciated is how supportive and flexible the Swim Guides, Mary and André, are. They make the camp accessible for swimmers of all levels. Each swim is fully supported by both a boat and a kayak that move alongside the group. In my case, whenever I felt tired or a bit nervous, I could simply hop on the kayak or boat for a break, and then jump back in whenever I felt ready. This setup completely took the pressure off. Even though I never swam the full 3.5 km distance on any day, I still had an amazing time and left feeling accomplished. Beyond the swims themselves, the whole experience was fantastic, meeting fellow swimming enthusiasts from around the world, enjoying delicious lunches after our swims, and exploring the island on beautiful land tours. The combination of swimming, food, people, and adventure made it one of the best experiences I’ve ever signed up for. Overall: 10/10. I can’t recommend the Madeira Swim Camp enough—whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or a beginner looking to dip your toes (literally) into open water swimming, this camp is absolutely worth it. My heart is satisfied; Thuli

Unforgettable experience - My experience during the 7 days in Madeira was excellent. From the very beginning, the hospitality of Mary Claire and André made us feel welcome, and the sense of safety they provided in the water was deeply appreciated at every moment. They made sure that from start to finish we had an unforgettable experience, and that’s exactly what it was. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to take part in such a spectacular experience.
