"I've been on several swim adventures now with Cornish Kelpie. I've visited amazing locations all whilst enjoying a guided swim in nature with the best people lead by an absolutely inspiring teacher. Sarah's passion for swimming and the benefits it gives you is infectious. You also get copious amounts of joy and laughter and a high that lasts for days. Book yourself in. You won't regret it."

"Cornish Kelpie (Sarah Walsh) Sarah has been an inspiration to me and so many others. Sarah's enthusiasm, for cold water swimming is infectious, sharing her knowledge & experience has given me the confidence at this stage in my life (age 74) to join the Cornish adventures. These have been absolutely amazing & life changing. Not to mention the special friendships made, new locations found." Pam |
"Highly recommend booking with Sarah. When I started I had recently moved to Cornwall and new to being around the sea, I have learnt so much and she has helped me to build my confidence with swimming in the sea and understanding cold water swimming, how my body reacts and how to keep safe. Sarah is so supportive and understanding. It’s also a great way to meet new people." Jen |
