No sea swimming, surfing or yoga experience is needed, but you should be able to swim front crawl comfortably for 50m in a pool. 

Newquay has a range of restaurants for any budget, as well as a supermarket across the street from the surf shop. You'll need to buy ingredients for dinner at the camp - simple is best as you will be BBQ’ing and cooking over the camp fire. Given the diversity of food available in town, all dietary requirements can be accommodated including vegetarian and vegan diets. You will be provided with a basic camp breakfast of cereals, fruit, tea and coffee that should be enough to keep you going but please bring some extra snacks if you're an extra hungry morning person.

1 night of woodland camping in shared bell tents

Head straight to the beach for your guided introduction to wild swimming. Newquay is packed with sheltered areas to choose from so whatever the weather, you'll be jumping in the water. You'll learn new techniques as you go - from understanding the tidal movement to working out which conditions make for a safe swim.
After some hot drinks, it's back into the ocean for an intro to surfing. You’ll learn beach and surf safety, how to catch waves on your stomach and (hopefully!) how to pop up and surf a wave back to the beach. The lesson can be tailored to your level - whether you’re a first-timer or looking to build your skills, either way, your coach will make sure you get the most from your time on the water.
You'll then grab lunch in Newquay and gather your BBQ essentials for dinner before heading off to the wild campsite for your first yoga session. The campsite is a 15-minute drive from Newquay based on a working dairy farm. Once settled in it's time to enjoy a yoga lesson in the open-sided barn, listening to nature as you relax after your busy day. The evening is yours to explore the woodland, chill out with a beer, play some games or get cooking on the BBQ.

Wild swim, surf, yoga - all in one day

Day 1

The day starts with a morning yoga session designed to slowly energise and invigorate the mind and body before saying a fond farewell to the wild camp and making your way back to Newquay for your final wild swim in Cornwall. The focus will be to build on the previous day's introduction. With a new location, the aim is to cover a small distance and to feel confident in your new-found knowledge of wild sea swimming. You'll finish around 1pm with time left to relax on the beach before heading home.
