Day 1
We meet at Loreto Marina for our private charter and journey north to Isla Coronado, keeping watch for dolphin pods that frequent these waters. Today is your technique deep-dive. where we'll swim and recap SwimMastery approach. We'll film your stroke from multiple angles and teach you simple but powerful "cues" that unlock more efficient swimming.
After a beachside lunch, we cruise to Coronado's southern coast, where white sand beaches meet crystal-clear turquoise water. Here, swimming above vibrant marine life, you'll continue refining your stroke with personalised coaching in some of the Sea of Cortez's most pristine conditions.
Day 2
Today, we visit the Loreto pool to begin our advanced technique development. We look at the catch set up and leg mechanics of a connected stroke. With plenty of opportunities for hands-on tactile feedback from coaches, live demonstrations and you’ll gain new insights into your stroke mechanics and what it means to use advanced synchronisations .
We’ll take a break for lunch and then return to the pool to continue with our technique development.
Day 3
We rejoin our private charter boat to set course for Isla Carmen, the Sea of Cortez's largest island and a world unto itself. Our morning begins at Puerto Balandra's sheltered bay, where we'll have an opportunity to embed our new learnings in the open water.
After a beachside lunch in a secluded cove, we journey to Carmen's northwest coast and the striking volcanic landscape of La Grimas. Swimming along these black lava formations against deep blue water, you'll apply your technique under more dynamic conditions, building confidence as the week's skills come together.
Day 4
Today, we are back in the pool or a calm bay (weather permitting) further refining our technique and exploring advanced synchronisations and metrics.
The afternoon is yours to explore Loreto at your own pace. Wander through the historic town centre, relax at a beachfront cafe, browse the local shops or simple unwind by the water. This downtime gives your body a chance to rest and your mind time to process everything you’ve been learning. We are getting ready for our adventure swim the next morning.
Day 5
This is our adventure day. We depart early set course for the outer islands, heading to Isla Danzante—the Sea of Cortez's most dramatic swimming destination. Rising 1,050 feet straight from the water, this desert island embodies raw, vertical beauty that takes your breath away before you even enter the water.
Along the way we visit Carmen's northwest coast at La Grimas, where black volcanic formations create a stunning seascape. This point-to-point coastal swim tests your technique under real open water conditions— deeper blues, natural navigation. Coaches in kayaks provide support as you discover what your refined stroke can handle.
After a beach lunch on a remote cove, we arrive at Danzante for the day's crescendo. Towering cliffs plunge into turquoise water so clear you can see 25 metres or 80 feet down. This is your opportunity to practice all your learnings from the previous days.
This is the end of our Advanced Technique camp and what a way to end it!
