Amazing experience - Claudia and Carlos were wonderful and personable guides of our open water swim in Algarve. They were flexible in meeting our needs and gave us an amazing tour of grottoes and hidden beaches along the cliffs. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience.

Portimao hidden caves and beaches! - Carlos took me along the coast to some hidden caves and beaches. Places that only locals would know about! We took a pace that I could do and the tides were not choppy at all. Saw a bunch of schools of fish and a little geography of where we were at!

Beautiful swim and amazing guide!! - What an amazing swim!! Our group of five swimmers got to swim though arches and into caves; all with Claudia’s encouragement and guidance. We were different levels of swimmers and she was able to accommodate us with breaks on the beach and kept us moving. The sights above and below the water were awesome. Can’t wait to swim with Claudia and Carlos again!!

Magical Sea Swim Through Algarve Arches — Unmissable! - An unforgettable swim at Praia do Alemão (The German Beach) with husband and wife team Claudia and Carlos. Their expert knowledge of the sea & local area made this coastal adventure feel both safe and helpful. Swimming through sea arches in crystal waters—just like the photo—was pure magic. No way would I do this on my own, Can’t recommend Swim Together enough. PS Loved the post-swim award, Bolas de berlim (Portugese Custard Doughnuts)

Swim together in Pria Do Vau Portugal - I had a great experience with Swim together. They contacted me right after the booking to connect me with my guide Carlos. He was so kind and patient helping me with my technique. Taking breaks to check on me. It was only my 4th open water swim and first in the sea. I was fitted with the correct wetsuit. And immediately felt comfortable and in confidence with Carlos. I highly recommend this to any level swimmers. It was a good workout and a super fun first experience. Great team that makes you feel welcome! Thank you Swim Together!

Fantastic Guided Sea Swim Experience - to be repeated - Been looking for guided open water swimming in Portugal for sometime. Found Swim Together online. Excellent communication from the outset. Swim Together offered various options. We decided on breakfast 5km sea swim with caves. Our swim guide Claudia arrived on time and after the mandatory safety briefing we set off from Portimão towards Alvor. With the safety kayak always in sight we weaved our way along the beautiful coastline. When the tide permitted we swan through open caves and back into open water. Beautiful clear water and only slight swell. Sheltered bays offered the opportunity to push the pacing and harness technique. Regular breaks to regroup with Claudia keeping an eagle eye on us. Our group was three steady paced experienced open water swimmers Comes highly recommended. We opted for wetsuits!
