This is my second swimming trip, and it did not disappoint. There was a perfect balance of technical direction and open-water swimming. The locations were well-planned and the water safety was on point. Thank you to the crew for pulling together this fantastic trip.

Thank you so much for The Whitsunday Swim Camp. What a fabulous experience. It has topped off twelve months of working with Effortless Swimming on my technique. Up until the camp, the improvement was spectacular. But Brenton's personal attention during the camp, plus two filmings, has taken me to another level again. Add to this the brilliant Open Water swims, the weather and the fun people. I was expecting it to be great, but it was beyond my expectations.

Whitsundays swim camp surpassed my expectations. Good company, good vibes, good weather and great learning. Notably, there has been a noticeable improvement in my stroke in just a week! Thank you very much to all involved.
