Outline of a Swim Adventure
Swim adventures take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, typically lasting 2-3 hours, including a potential brunch/lunch break. Sarah assesses the weather and risks the week before to determine the location, but changes may occur up to the adventure day. Participants will be notified in time. The adventures often involve walking up to a mile or more to reach the swim spot, requiring sturdy shoes or boots due to varied and hilly terrain.
Meeting points are in designated car parks with necessary equipment checks carried out prior to setting off. Details of the meeting point are provided the evening before. Photos of wildlife and the group are taken frequently (unless you have requested not to be in photos) At the swim destination, Sarah conducts a safety briefing.
Swim duration varies with conditions; in winter, swims last up to 10 minutes or less for newcomers, while summer swims are longer.
After swimming, participants warm up with hot drinks and cake. Once we’ve chatted and got warm we make our back to our cars, sometimes we will go to a nearby café/pub for lunch, this is optional.

"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 |
