What is the average swim distance per day?There are three endurance swims on our novice swim holiday. Our swims have been carefully chosen so that you are able to build up your confidence and ability. First swim: 3K "Escape From The Castle" swim. This is a wonderful chance to view one of Poros historic and unique castle ruin from the water. Second swim: 5K "Lighthouse" Swim. This is a fabulous opportunity to swim from one of Poros iconic lighthouses. Take pictures and have fun along the way. Third swim: 8K "Lion Island" Swim. This is your final challenge of the week. You will be dropped of by our taxi ferry into the blue waters next to lion island (named Lion island due to its shape, we don't any real lions to be on the island).

Do I have to wear wetsuits during my swims?Of course not. Here at Triskeli swims we want you to feel comfortable in the water. Every swimmer is different. Some swimmers prefer wetsuits and some swimmers prefer to swim in skins, the choice is yours. However if you are a novice and this is your first swim camp we recommend you bring a wetsuit for the longer swims. This will help you with temperature drops during your time in the water. The average water temperature vary in Poros. They range from 19c to 21c depending on weather. Please note that after the Lion island endurance swims you will need appropriate clothing such as a hat, warm clothes and suitable foot wear. It may be a sunny and warm day but your body will need time to adjust back to its normal core temperature.

What happens if I cannot keep up swim speed with everyone?We want everyone in the group to enjoy their swims. Therefore if you feel you cannot keep up with speed with the group please don't worry contact the team so that we can arrange a solution for your safety.
