Cornish Swim Tours

19/06/2025

Hello 👋 a quick update. You may noticed this page has been dormant for a while. With Jon and Ben both moving on to pastures new the regular guided swims with CST are no longer in operation.

Jon is now teaching full time and Ben has launched a new business where swims DO still feature.

If you’re still looking for guided 1:1 open water swims then please check out:

Thanks for all the support over the years, Cornish Rock Tors Ltd is still very much in operations with Hugo at the helm. Why not book an activity in this amazing weather. And if you’re keen to make the most of lovely sea conditions then give me a message via my website.

Best wishes,

Ben

As we swim into September, guided swim adventures are still available albeit dependent upon matching your goals with sea/weather conditions and available routes. We're not scheduling these sessions, so if you'd like to set yourself a swim challenge as summer shifts into autumn then drop us a line to discuss what we can tailor to you.

Majestic cliffs on one side, and a sea view right to the horizon on the other.

Swim a beautiful and unspoilt stretch of the Cornish coast with a guide and coach paddling alongside. You tell us how far you want to swim and when, and we'll do the rest.

We've have had some great conditions the last few months. It was great to be able to take Steve out along this beautiful stretch for a there-and-back swim to Pentire Point from new Polzeath. Thanks so much for leaving us a 5* review!

"Although I swim a lot, this was not something I would have tackled alone, but I want to increase my sea swimming and this was the ideal way to start. Jon was a fantastic guide, with top advice on how to approach the quite different experience of sea-swimming, tips about kit and also about where best to swim depending on conditions."

Our guided swim adventures are SUPPORTED swim adventures, meaning that you can get on with the important act of swimming whilst we paddle alongside keeping you on track, energised, hydrated, and swimming at your best.

South Coast Scenes

A beautiful 6km swim out of Charlestown earlier this month. Our guided swim adventures are tailored to the swimmer, their goals, and the weather forecast, and that sometimes means making the short hop across to the south coast to make the most of the conditions and routes there.

We've had a great response to the weekly Swim Specials that are new to our schedule this season. This evening we're swimming from Pinehaven to Port Gaverne (via Port Isaac) and conditions are looking great.

This shot is from a few weeks ago when we swam up the coast to Cathedral Cave. Just look at the colour and clarity of the water 🤩
