HAPPY SWIMMERS

What Our Clients Say

My experience in Kral Koyu swim was very transformative. It gave me the magic of the "deep blue" with stunning scenery around - truly unforgettable. I became far more confident in the open water after this swim.

Diana Najafova Open water swimmer

I’ve been a pool swimmer for years, but Ad Cragum in stunning South Turkey blew me away. Turquoise waters amid coastal cliffs were magic, food was delicious, and coaches kept it safe and fun. Loved every second—highly recommend!

Maria R. Professional swimmer

Did Bosphorus a couple years ago. Ad Cragum camp in south Turkey was next level. Turquoise sea, cliffs n sun. Solid coaching, felt safe. Good times swimmin.

QUESTIONS

FAQ

You should feel comfortable swimming for about 30 minutes in a pool at a steady, medium pace. If you can do that, you're ready to take on the open water and everything it brings.
Yes. Alongside the daily swims, our team runs practical workshops on open-water skills, navigation, mass-start strategies, and lessons learned from iconic crossings like Gibraltar and Bonifacio. You'll learn directly from people who've faced real currents, real winds, and real challenges.
Definitely. Expect mountain rivers, waterfalls, ancient castles, dramatic coastlines, and hidden spots you'd never find on your own. Add in generous servings of Turkish cuisine, and the adventure continues long after you leave the water.
Each session offers multiple route options. Whether you want a shorter, relaxed swim or a longer, more demanding stretch, you can choose the challenge that fits your day.
Conditions are comfortable - the water usual temperatures around 20-21*C are comfortable for both wetsuit and non-wetsuit swimmers. The air temperature is around 18-21 and there are usually 7-10 hours of sunshine per day so don't forget your sunscreen!
Swim sessions, nutrition during and after swims, welcome and farewell dinners, workshops, sightseeing, and full photo and video coverage of your swims. The full package also includes transfers, transportation, and accommodation — everything arranged so you can focus on the sea.
Flights, visas, personal food and drinks (unless specified), swim gear, and entry tickets to local attractions.
Yes. For safety reasons, a buoy is required for most swims. Bring your own or let us know in advance so we can arrange a rental.
Bring two swimsuits, a beach towel, open-water goggles plus a spare pair, clear-lens goggles for the night swim, a wetsuit if you prefer (water is usually 21–23°C), a swim cap, and earplugs. Pack for comfort and readiness.
Music players aren't allowed for safety reasons. Swim aids like paddles, pull buoys, and kickboards aren't needed — fins are the only optional exception.
Routes typically range from 2–3 km up to 7–8 km per swim. Distances are adapted to the group so everyone enjoys the experience without pressure.
Usually between 15 and 30 km across the whole event, depending on weather and group capability. Every kilometer brings a new view, a new challenge, and a new story.
You'll gain real open-water confidence and learn practical strategies from swimmers with Ironman experience. Expect insights on pacing, sighting, mass starts, and staying calm when the water gets busy.
This is excellent preparation. The open-water exposure, distance, and conditions will give you a strong advantage on race day.
If this is your first big crossing, this is the perfect training ground. You'll practice swimming alongside a boat, managing nutrition, reading the sea, and understanding long-distance strategy — supported by workshops that cover the theory behind it all.
All sessions are in English. Our team also speaks Turkish, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian. And of course, everyone speaks the language of the sea.
The full package includes accommodation (for two people*) and transport — ideal if you want everything arranged for you. The basic package suits those who prefer driving in Turkey or want to bring their family along. The swims are identical for everyone.
*Bringing your loved one with you is free, subject to availability — please arrange this in advance with the organizers.
A fully customized experience. Dates, locations, itinerary, pace, and extras are tailored entirely to you (or your group). It's your adventure, shaped exactly the way you want it — we'll build and discuss every detail with you. This can also be a cost-effective option if you come as a group of 3 or more swimmers.
