Helen, 2026 : "It was a brilliant weekend, thank you, my first with Sea Swim Cornwall. I was a little nervous beforehand, not knowing what to expect, but that soon left me. At each swim I felt really well looked after and safe - the sea swim experience was thrilling.

Thank you all for making it such a great weekend".

Breaststroke swimming holiday.
Over the last few years we've introduced a couple of new swimming holiday formats. These have included the 'slow swimming' and 'slow, short & social' swimming holidays. New for 2027 is the 'Breaststroke' swimming holiday. Ideal for anyone that swims breaststroke, is in the process of trandsitioning to some front crawl...but also ideal for anyone nervous about sea swimming, new to open water swimming...
Safety always comes into our choice of swim location but on this holiday we'll choose super safe and flat locations. Covering shorter distances.

Masters pool sessions starting soon!
We're back in the pool in St Ives, from the start of October. Sessions designed for anyone that can swim front crawl. We have 3 lanes, for varying abilities. Starting with lane 1 - swimming up to 1km over 60 minutes, with a mixture of drills, technique, a little bit of hard work.... all the way through to Lane 3, who will swim up to 1700m - 2km - still working on technique but also completing a structured main set etc.
Friday evening, 6.30-7.30pm and 5.30-6.30pm every second Friday of the month.

Look at the clarity of that water!
We'd originally planned a triple swimming day in St Ives but the conditions had other ideas. So here we are in the stunning Perranuthnoe area instead. Love this place. Like a lot of west Cornwall, there are iconic, well known areas...but it's a lot of the lesser known, less famous areas that often offer the best swims.

Love the sand formations at Porthcurno. Almost looks like someone's created them intentionally...
This video was taken on a 'Slow, short and social' swimming holiday. We had a reasonably broad range of swimming abilities and some very happy customers.

Wait until you see the end of the video!
We’ve been cheating on the sea recently. Whilst the guilt levels are high, we just can’t stay away from the quarry. We’re back there again on Saturday afternoon.
Early morning footage of the stunning lake, pre-recent waterpolo tournament. Whilst the goals are long gone, that stunning water is still sat there waiting for our return…and we’re back with sauna in tow.
These sessions are strictly by pre-booked appointment only. To find out more, visit - https://www.seaswimcornwall.co.uk/goodygrane

What a summer!
I've just been going through my GoPro before I delete a load of images and it's been an absolute pleasure. Some amazing swims over the last two months.

We've already started on the 2027 calendar. Here's what's on there so far - https://www.seaswimcornwall.co.uk/this-week

There’s always time on a swimming holiday for some local exploration. Penzance town centre seems to be having somewhat of a rejuvenation. So many of the vacant shops over the past year or two now have tenants…and some fantastic tenants at that!

Meet Gavin. He very generously joined me earlier in the year, on my 24-ish km charity swim. Gavin works for us part time and currently works as a professional beach lifeguard. He’s also been swimming some distances all summer, in preparation for his channel attempt, window starts Wednesday. He’s raising money for Mind, in the process (link below).
Here’s a photo of Gavin, doing…something very…odd?
