Our Story<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Founded in 2019 by Andr\u00e9 Santos, SwimTogether positioned itself as the first portuguese company exclusively dedicated to open water swimming holidays. From the very beginning, our purpose has been clear: to design meaningful swimming experiences that combine nature, cultural discovery and the highest standards of safety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Authentic Exploration<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We design experiences with identity, guided by local knowledge and far from mass tourism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Respect for Nature<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nature is not a backdrop, it is our partner. We are committed to minimize our impact and respecting ecosystems and communities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We believe swimming is richer when shared. Together we grow, support each other and create lasting connections, in and out of the water.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our mission<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our mission is to make open water swimming accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level, while creating unforgettable, responsible and well-organized moments.<\/p>

From half-day swims to multi-day camps and training sessions, all our trips are led by highly qualified, bilingual guides with professional backgrounds in open water training and water rescue. Safety, trust and attention to detail are at the core of everything we do. A commitment reflected in the consistently outstanding feedback from our community.<\/p>

Rooted in Portugal and expanding internationally, SwimTogether already offers experiences beyond borders, including destinations such as S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, and continues to grow wherever inspiring and safe waters exist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
