TESTIMONIALS
A great experience for those with a bit of open water experience who are looking to develop their abilities, increase confidence and improve their technique. Hard to believe that from not being able to do front crawl 18 or so months ago I can now swim 5k in the sea. Comfortable clean accommodation and an easy walk to the sea. Not forgetting the really great restaurants on the sea front for when you’ve worked up an appetite - as well as a couple of trips to see ancient sites as part of recovery. Beautiful swimming spot. Highly recommend.

Akbuk in Turkey is a great venue for a swim camp. A short walk from the lovely apartment to the sea, an even shorter walk to the pool. The sea itself is quiet, with very few fishing boats or other swimmers to contend with. Whether you can swim 1km or 10km, there are various ‘stop off’ points to mark the way.
There is 1:1 and small group sea coaching, with tips on sighting & braving the chop. I loved the fact that you got to swim continuously with no wall to push off every 25m, and it gave you a chance to iron out your stroke technique. We did a couple of coached runs as well, although not compulsory, this was useful.
The week is tailored around whoever is in that particular group, and their goals. For me it was to swim at least 5km in warmer waters & improve my stroke and confidence. Although the week was quite ‘full on’, we did have time to visit some beautiful ancient ruins and the food in the evenings is of a good standard & value for money. I also enjoyed meeting and making friends with other swimmers of differing abilities.

What a difference a week makes. From standing terrified on day one to swimming 5k in a wetsuit and 3k in skins by day 6! Paul is patient but pushes you beyond what you think you are capable of, without you realising it! I will be back next year.

Have never been confident or happy in open water.
Day one and 2 were so far out of my comfort zone in a wetsuit never mind in skins that it's hard to believe how on day 3 the penny dropped and it felt fantastic. Paul has such patience and an incredible calming approach that I began to believe and trust. 3k became 5k and I got to the point that I didn't bat an eyelid when swimming away from the coast in skins. or swimming 2k without the wetsuit comfort blanket.
Can't recommend these camps enough. It's made the impossible possible for me. In fact an open water coach recently commented on how calm and smooth my stroe was. Thankyou Paul and Frances at 4T.
