Join us for a spectacularly scenic open water experience as we swim and explore one of the most idyllic aquatic settings in the Caribbean. Our US Virgin Islands Swim Camp will feature daily open water swim sessions at one of the most stunning venues in the world. Swims will be tailored to your level of speed, stamina, and skill. From novice swimmers to advanced competitors, all are welcome. The only prerequisite is to have completed an 800-meter open water swim previously without stopping. Some swim options are 1 mile or longer. There is no speed or time requirement as long as you swim safely without assistance. Trip highlights will include multiple daily bay/sea swims at various different points of the island and transportation to and from, as needed. Campers should bring a New Wave Swim Buoy or tow float of your choice. Many of the excursions will include a short off-road hike and a swim back to the starting point. Tow floats should be able to carry what you've used for the hike, including, but not limited to: footwear, sun protection, hydration. Swims will be led by US National champion marathon swimmer, John Kenny. Daily meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will also be provided for all campers. Camp price includes all room and board, plus up to 3 restaurant meals. Accommodations are included with the price on a shared occupancy basis. Lodging is at Cinnamon Bay Campground at USVI National Park. The price includes bunk bed sleeping arrangements in an "eco-tent" which will not be climate controlled. Cottage options have been added as well, and single occupancy can also be arranged. Contact John Kenny for more details at [email protected]. Cost of flight from city of origination not included.
