Jun 25, 2016, 10:31 AM

You might enjoy a swim when you’re on holiday, in the ocean or the pool. So what about a sea or lake swimming based-break? This week on ‘Hobby Holidays’ on the Great Destinations Radio Show, we’re suggesting the idea of a swimming vacation! You can choose either warm or cold-water locations. Keri Jones spoke to two experts. Dewi Winkle led SwimTrek open water holidays in the British Virgin Islands, Turkey, Malta, Croatia, the Isles of Scilly and the Hebrides. Jon Coningham-Rolls is C.E.O of Swimquest. For 14 years his company has arranged swimming holidays in destinations as diverse as Cornwall, the Maldives and even group swims between Norwegian islands within the Arctic Circle. Jon says that going on an organised trip means swimmers can really enjoy the natural environment, knowing that safety issues are in hand. Swimquest guides use safety boat, employing local pilots’ skills and they are all qualified beach lifeguards and first aiders. Jon’s favourite UK swimming destinations are in the Westcountry at St Michael’s Mount and Burgh Island. Jon describes both places as “iconic’. He also loves swimming around Arundel in Sussex. Find out more about sea swimming breaks and hear which sea-swimming holiday destinations the men recommend in the audio report.
