WHAT DOES THE COMMUNITY SAY ABOUT US?

"A dedicated team who work incredibly hard to ensure their guests have the best time. I cannot recommend enough. I was the least proficient swimmer in the group but their encouragement and safety regime was superb and second to none. Swims, walks, talks and good food including cake! Of course Dorset is also the most beautiful county in the UK. ❤️"

"This is my second time on a trip with Mel and Rich and the minute we got back we booked 2 up for next year!
The accommodation is clean and comfy and in a prime location for a sunrise and sunset dip.
The food is simply scrumptious and Mel’s home made cake well simply divine 😍
This time I was lucky enough to swim behind a waterfall an experience that I truly will not forget. The back up team are wonderful and you really feel part of the family. They seem to attract like minded guests as I have left with some new wonderful friends."
