What to expect
My lessons are designed to be a balanced combination of relaxation and adventure. I spend a great deal of time planning each of my swim routes, ensuring that I offer you a tailored experience that you will never forget.
On this day, we will meet at Praia da Duquesa in Cascais. After arriving, you will meet me and your fellow swimmers for a safety briefing and discussion about the swimming lesson. If you are a beginner swimmer we can also do a private coaching session.
We will then hold an acclimatisation swim nearby and start our adventure along the Cascais coast (from 1.5km or more depending on your ability and if you want to do a short or long distance swim). There you will have the opportunity to swim in very enjoyable clear waters. The view from here is unrivalled as the entire Bay of Cascais is laid out before us.
The session will last 1 hour with time to warm up, meet up and after our water session get a hot tea. I provide swim buoy and, if required, a wetsuit rental. I will be swimming beside you all the time and giving you all the support you need. I will be filming you while swimming for further analysis of your technique.

Gostei muito da experiência de nadar no mar. Fui acompanhada pela querida guia Catarina que me mostrou as bonitas paisagens da linha de Cascais e teve sempre o cuidado de certificar que estava tudo bem, se me sentia bem. Recomendo esta experiência aos amantes do mar. Será para repetir!

We had a lot of fun, and the videos and photos we got at the end were really cool. Catarina was lovely and accommodating to all abilities.I had a great experience training for my Ironman race with Bibiana. She was truly skilled in her craft as an instructor/coach.

I had a great experience training for my Ironman race with Bibiana. She was truly skilled in her craft as an instructor/coach. Her sighting and pacing skills were exceptional. I truly appreciated having an expert like Bibiana to help me navigate the waters and show me the course lay out. This was incredibly helpful. Whether a beginner in open water swimming or a seasoned athlete, I highly recommend Swim Together and particularly Bibiana for the professionalism, responsiveness and expertise they offer in open water swimming. Respectfully, Cory WilkinsonThey were easy to connect with, they were very friendly and flexible. I felt at ease straight away as Andre was a confident swimmer and great friendly guide.

So much to "tour the ocean". My guide André offered swimming tips, stayed close, and took great photos and videos on my IRONMAN training swim. I will most certainly plan my next trip to include an area where I can sign up with these folks again!

The extra swim on the last day before breakfast was superb. The cherry in the cake.
