​The "Wake-Up"
Monday to Saturday after 8:00!
​
​Summer is here!....
​
The sun rises early, the sea is warm...
An early morning swim session is the perfect start of your day in Athens!
Under the shade of the local tamarisk trees or the warm sunrays (your choice, they are next to each other), we start with an easy going dry-land warmup to "wake-up" body & mind!
Fully awake, we take a moment to enjoy a panoramic view of the route we will swim and jump into the water!
An easy pace swim with a few drills will help us familiarize with the surrounding environment and lead us to the first point of our route!
We take a brief rest, spot our next target and set off!
Point to point distances range from 200m up to 1200m with rest times in between
We always regroup at target points before heading to the next spot, constantly swimming parallel to the shoreline (max 50m from the shore)
Our swim finishes with a cool down and bit of stretching once on dry land!
We rinse off the salt water, get dressed, and we are ready to enjoy the rest of the day!
Looking forward to seeing you!

Back in Spring 2025!
