Meet the Founder
Lorna Richardson
"My love for swimming fuels my coaching, and my curiosity to push my own limits helps me connect with those who are testing theirs."
Swim Traveller was born out of a simple, combined passion: a lifelong love for swimming and an insatiable desire to explore the world through swim travel. My journey into coaching began during my time working in a physical therapy facility — repeatedly seeing athletes returning with the same injuries, frustrated they couldn't understand what was going wrong biomechanically. I wanted to change that.
Why Swim Traveller?
Purposeful Swimming.
Effortless Luxury.
Every swim is coached and kayak-monitored, from island to island and shore to shore. Daily swims of 2 to 4km suit every level, from first-time open water swimmers to seasoned channel crossers. We meet you where you are.
We balance exhilarating open-water miles with rich cultural excursions, authentic local dining, and plenty of time to simply be. This is active travel in Europe at its finest — swim travel that genuinely rejuvenates body and mind.
It's all taken care of - From private en-suite cabins or high-end hotels, handpicked island tavernas & unique culinary experiences with seamless transportation logistics. Every detail is managed so you can focus entirely on the water.
The Swim Traveller Difference
The Luxury of
Smaller Groups
Every swim is coached and kayak-monitored, from island to island. Daily swims of 2 to 4km suit every level, from first-time open water swimmers to seasoned channel crossers. Every swimmer finds their stride.
No crowded boats. No rushing. Smaller groups let us pivot seamlessly, exploring hidden coves larger tours can't reach and enjoying a peaceful, unhurried itinerary — the kind of adventure travel in Europe that stays with you long after you're home.
There is a unique bond formed when a small group of like-minded adventurers shares the open ocean, table-side laughs, and sunsets on the deck. Our guests arrive as individuals and leave as a community.
