SWIM RETREATS
Guided by the rhythm of the ocean and the support of the boat beside you, you’ll discover not only the beauty of Chacala’s waters — but your own strength within them
This year, I’ve teamed up with Bahía Chacala Tours, a beautiful local, family-run business whose roots in Chacala span generations. Their deep knowledge of the coastline and the ocean brings something truly special to every outing.
Bahía Chacala Tours offers a wide range of unforgettable ocean experiences — from whale watching, snorkeling adventures to sport fishing, surf trips to La Caleta, island visits to Isla Coral, and hidden coves like Las Cuevas. Each tour is guided by an expert local captain and crew who know these waters intimately and prioritize your safety and enjoyment.
By working with them it allows me to offer swim retreats that are not only professionally supported but also authentic to Chacala and its surrounding waters. Together, we share a love for this ocean and the community that calls it home — creating a safe, joyful, and deeply meaningful experience for everyone who joins.
Swim Retreats in Chacala, Mexico
Welcome to the breathtaking waters of Bahía Chacala, where tropical islands, lush coastlines, and crystal-clear seas create the perfect environment for your next swimming adventure. Each Swim Retreat is a unique, tailor-made ocean experience designed around your personal goals, abilities, and swimming experience. Whether you're looking for focused technique coaching, distance training, or a more relaxed ocean adventure, we craft a retreat that’s exactly what you need.
Every retreat is designed with you in mind, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty and rhythm of the sea while progressing in your swimming journey. Whether it’s a one-day experience or a multi-day adventure, we ensure every moment is meaningful, transformative, and fun, helping you achieve the connection and confidence you seek in the water.
A Typical Swim Retreat
Before your retreat, we’ll meet to discuss your goals and experience. Together with Bahía Chacala Tours, we’ll design a route and plan that perfectly matches what you want from your time in the ocean. Some swimmers prefer relaxed days that include island stops, time to snorkel, and fresh ceviche on the beach, while others come to train for marathon swims, focusing on longer distances and structured coaching sessions that emphasize endurance and technique.
Each retreat is supported by a professional captain and safety boat, with me accompanying you on my paddleboard to offer continuous coaching and close guidance. The captain will monitor the route and conditions, ensuring safety throughout. If you need to take a break, you can rest on the boat or swap places with me on the paddleboard. The approach is flexible, supportive, and designed to meet your needs in real time.
Coaching & Support
Throughout the retreat, you’ll receive detailed coaching feedback on stroke, technique, and efficiency. I often get into the water alongside you, demonstrating and working directly with you to refine breathing, timing, or body position, so you can feel each improvement instantly. Each retreat is not only a training experience but also a journey of confidence and connection with the ocean. By the end, you’ll feel stronger, more skilled, and more in tune with the rhythm of the sea.

What’s Included
Experience personalized coaching with full boat support and safety supervision throughout your journey.
