Customer Reviews
Graeme is great; he and his team know what they are doing; more importantly the swimmers safety is their top priority. You MUST experience some of his tours on Swim on the Wild Side. You are sure to have a lovely stay. Mo. (Photo by: Graeme)
If you want an amazing experience in the most beautiful setting then open water swimming with Graeme is a must! My fiance and I did the introduction to open water swimming session and it was wonderful! Graeme is a fantastic instructor who makes you feel at ease in the water and is clearly passionate about what he does. We would highly recommend Swim on the Wild Side to give open water swimming a try!
Graeme and Jane were brilliant hosts for 4x4x4=1 event this weekend. Their patience was enormous. From ever changing languages on the sat nav, to stopping off at local supermarkets for provisions and/or toilet stops and/or food stops, to arriving at deserted hotels, and hotels with wrong bookings (that were actually right), everything was taken in their stride. The 4 x 4km swims were really well selected and researched, and all were different, but beautiful in their own way (except maybe Lac du Madine… there was a terrible case of water Tourettes, and I apologise for my equally terrible language!!) If you get the chance you go on one of these expos, grab it with both hands - they're brilliant! Thank you Graeme and Jane for a fabulous weekend.
