Private Group with SwimTrek – Emerald Coast, Sardinia
10th – 16th July 2027
Join me on this swimming holiday as we swim and explore the natural beauty and idyllic waters of Sardinia’s Emerald Coast on a fully guided swimming holiday.
I will be providing daily coaching tips throughout the week and a session of video analysis to help you focus as much or as little as you like during the swims.
You are first and foremost on a swimming holiday, where we will share the week together and discover one of Italy’s most picturesque locations.
Leap into green-blue seas and swim along sun-drenched island coastlines, uncovering the many secrets of Mediterranean ‘Costa Smeralda,’ as well as tracing unique routes where the yachts can’t follow.
The Maddalena archipelago, which forms part of Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, is a small group of seven islands with crystalline waters, pink sand beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs and a collection of coloured coves and granite sculptures.
The National Park, formed in 1994 as ‘Parco Nazionale Arcipelago di La Maddalena’, is located inside the Straits of Bonifacio, between the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. The southern part of the archipelago, with the two largest islands of La Maddalena and Caprera, are a perfect base for some dramatic coastal swims. While the more remote and uninhabited islands of Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria are great venues for some challenging island-hopping swims and a short circumnavigation.
The main town of La Maddalena, a short distance from our base for the week, is a traditional Sardinian town, and an ideal venue to spend time relaxing after our daily exertions. This trip features a variety of both coastal and island-hopping swims.
Who is this for?
This trip is for those who enjoy a combination of coastal swims and island-hopping. It is ideally suited for anyone who relishes clear, warm waters, spectacular vistas, and wildlife sightings, both above and below water.
Swimmers should have a basic understanding of open water swimming and be capable of completing the average swim distance and average daily swim distance (over the course of two swims) prior to the start of the trip.
