Grab your hiking boots, a towel and your swimsuit! We are headed for the remote hills of Snowdonia for a weekend of exploring some of Wales' most stunning wild swimming spots.
Book nowYes of course. If you let us know at least a fortnight before the retreat starts we can accommodate for any dietary requirements including vegan, vegetarian and gluten free diets.
Yes the retreats are fully catered and we provide LOTS of cake and snacks as well as three meals a day. You are welcome to bring your own snacks too if you like and we provide cool boxes in your kitchen cabins to keep things fresh. If you'd like to bring wine, beer or other nice things to drink you are more than welcome; we expect responsible drinking and not before you get in the water (obviously!).
Yes you are welcome to bring a support team! Get in touch with us directly to discuss pricing options for non-participants.
Yes you are welcome to bring your dog - we just ask that you keep them under close control, clean up after them and are respectful to other retreat guests who may be nervous around dogs. We don't usually allow dogs to come in the water with us on our Wild Swim Retreats as this can be a bit risky for everyone!
No I'm afraid all of our retreats are designed for over 18s only.
We encourage people to share a tent with one other person if they are happy to do so. Our bell tents are 5 metres wide so there is lots of space for two single beds and a large sofa. If you are booking with a friend or a partner we will make sure you are in the same tent.
Yes we can provide a separate bell tent if you would like your own space. There will be a £150 single supplement for this. Please note that you will still need to share a composting toilet and a kitchen cabin with others on the retreat.
If you are no longer able to make the retreat we will in the first instance give you the option to move your place to another date. If that is not an option then we will work with you to try to fill your place so we can give you a full refund. However if we are unable to fill your spot then the following cancellation policy will apply:
12 weeks’ notice or more – you only lose the 25% deposit
6 - 12 weeks’ notice – lose 25% deposit plus a further 25% of the total cost of your booking (50% of total cost of booking)
4 - 6 weeks’ notice – lose 75% of total cost of booking
Less than 4 weeks’ notice – lose 100% of total cost of booking
Yes absolutely! We welcome all abilities on our Wild Swim Retreats and all our swims are designed so that you can do as much or as little as you want. There is no pressure at all to do anything you are not comfortable with. We will provide all the guidance to get you started and help you build your confidence.
Yes! We welcome all abilities and all our swim spots are designed so that if you want to go for a longer swim you have the option. We encourage our more experienced swimmers to support and encourage those who are not so confident to make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.
The quality of the water in all our swim spots is generally very good. We regularly monitor the water quality of all our swim locations and adjust our locations accordingly if there is any sign of algae or contamination.
No, just a swimsuit and a towel, plus we would recommend that you wear suitable footwear (swim socks or an old pair of trainers is fine) as it can be slippy entering and exiting the water. You are more than welcome to wear a wetsuit and/or neoprene gloves and boots if you have them but this is by no means a requirement.
This depends on the swim location and the weather we have had in the run up to the event. In North Wales generally the outdoor water temperature ranges from around 12c in May to 18c in September.
On our Wild Swim Retreat most of our swim spots are very close to the parking areas with less than a 5 minute walk to the water. The longest walk is around 20 minutes but we can give you a lift to the water's edge in a 4X4 if required. On our Mountain Swim Adventure you will need to be fit enough to walk around 10km over hilly terrain and carry everything you need for a day in the mountains, including water, food and your kit for 3-4 swims.
