What past swimmers are saying

BOJAN LUNCER

Austria – Japan Camp 2026

I’ve just finished my second camp with Effortless Swimming—this time the Open Water Adventure in Japan, after attending the Maldives camp last year. At the same time, I’ve been working with Tas through her online coaching, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

Everything Effortless Swimming offers is outstanding, whether it’s the online coaching, one-on-one sessions, or the camps. Everything is extremely well organized, professional, and enjoyable.

Tas and Brenton, together with their guest coaches, are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. They have a great ability to quickly identify what’s holding your stroke back and explain exactly what you need to do to improve. Their coaching is clear, encouraging, and highly effective.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Effortless Swimming to anyone who wants to improve their swimming, regardless of their current level. It’s been an amazing experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next camp.

FIONA GALLAGHER-PAYET

Ireland – Maldives Camp 2025

Swim, eat, laugh, sleep and no worries in between. I felt we were in the total care of the coaches who were so present, and generous with their time and knowledge. My swim improvements exceeded my expectations but more than that I came back with an impressive six pack from all the laughs with a wonderful group of people. Altogether an amazingly uplifting and rewarding experience. 

LINDIE SHRESTHA

AUS – Hell Week 2025

It was so awesome, so helpful and supportive that I’ve already signed up again. The coaching team were brilliant and importantly brought a lot of diversity to their perspective styles of coaching. So if something didn’t make sense another coach could offer same advice but in a different way that would make it easier to understand and implement. I loved that I got to work so closely with them, and I loved how you made it very individual for ever without judgement. (Not everyone is at iron man level….yet)

BRETT ANSLEY

Spain – Tahiti Camp 2026

I’ve joined two trips organised by Effortless Swimming—to the Galápagos and, most recently, Tahiti—and have also completed the eight-week Faster Freestyle course and five-week Catch course. The trips are first-class: small groups, spectacular locations and excellent coaches providing video analysis, in-water teaching and world-class feedback. My swimming has improved enormously, and I now feel stronger, more comfortable and more confident swimming longer distances in open water. Aaron (the trip organiser) is a swimmer himself and genuinely understands what swimmers want and need. These are the best-organised trips I’ve experienced. From a guest’s perspective, everything runs smoothly: amazing swims, superb hotels, great food and wonderful people. The combination of the courses and trips has helped me improve from 2:00 per 100 metres to 1:40 in just 18 months. I cannot recommend Effortless Swimming highly enough.

DEVYANI SINGH

India – Maldives Camp 2026

This was my second Maldives Swim camp and I am now counting days to the third one! The kind of attention that the coaches give to each swimmer (irrespective of their levels) is extraordinary. I am the slowest but I am always swimming with a coach and always being encouraged. Along with group coaching every swimmer has 1 on 1 sessions with the coaches. Just imagine being trained by world class coaches (Tas, Brenton, Laura) who are extremely passionate teachers and humans, in a beautiful place! The postive energy and vibes of this camp should be experienced by all!!!!

MARTIN STEPKA

Switzerland – Tahiti Camp 2026

I was expecting a lot, but I got so much more. The stunning nature, incredible wildlife, delicious food, and excellent organization all exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire stay, I was in constant awe. It was truly an experience of a lifetime. On top of that, the swim coaching in the coral lagoon and the valuable tips for open-water swimming on the outer side of the reef were exceptional. My confidence in open-water swimming improved significantly, and I left feeling much more capable and comfortable in challenging conditions.

EMIEL TINDEMANS

Singapore – Hell Week 2025

I had high expectations of the camp, and they’ve all been met, and more. I improved my swimming (a lot), and had a lot of fun with the group. Great and enthusiastic with a lot of positive energy, just great.

KRISTA LEWIS

AUS – TAHITI 2026

Tahiti is pretty friggin fabulous! Beautiful clear blue waters, lots of things to see in the water, great coaching and a great group. I’ve made some tweaks to my stroke throughout the week, and I’m feeling really good about my swimming.
 

ALISON ARIANS

USA – Galapagos Camp 2025

As an avid adult onset swimmer, this was the perfect swim adventure! The combination of swimming in challenging open water, snorkeling in waters filled with unique and unafraid wildlife, and getting technique help throughout the trip by a world-class coach was absolutely fantastic. While sometimes the sea was a bit choppy and challenging for me, I always felt well-supported by the trip leader, guides and accompanying boats, and was never concerned about safety. The marine life was incredible; we swam with playful sea lions, turtles, manta rays, dolphins, and so many different kinds of fish!

ROB EDMONSON

Canada – Japan Camp 2026

I participated in the Japan Swim Camp in July of ’26. What a great experience! The trip started/ended in Tokyo, but was mostly on the western coast of the Izu peninsula. The group was around 14 swimmers, 2 coaches, plus several local guides. The trip provided a great combination of 1) touring and experiencing both Tokyo and a more local Japanese town 2) world class coaching 3) lovely swimming waters on the Izu coast. We were able to do a film session in a local pool early in the trip and got personalized coaching thru the camp. We swam 5-6km per day, using local boats, but there are options for different skill levels/abilities and it’s very accessible. Great kayak and boat support throughout the swims, and the coastlines and scenery is lovely. Accommodations were great – excellent local food, comfortable rooms, and in-hotel onsen. Coaching (Brenton and Tasmynne) is world class, non-judgmental and aligns to the Effortless swimming approach. This trip is great if you are looking to experience Japanese culture and do some amazing swimming at the same time!

KYLIE BALL

AUS – Maldives Camp 2026

Wow! The Maldives swim camp was absolutely wonderful! I was pretty nervous to attend considering I’m not a very fast swimmer and swim 3 times per week, not 5 days in a row twice per day! BUT … Brenton, Tas and Laura were so welcoming and encouraging that all fear melted away from the very first session. The program was so varied and fun that I didn’t want it to end! My husband attended as a non swimming partner and was also so welcomed in by the coaches and entire group. It was the perfect setting where you could take your own pace or challenge your newly developed skills in the beautiful open water. Truely amazing experience I will carry into my swimming for years to come!

JOE WATKINS

AUS – Japan Camp 2026

I recently returned from the Izu Peninsula swim trip, and I can honestly say it was an absolute trip of a lifetime. If you are looking for an adventure that perfectly balances world-class coaching with breathtaking exploration, this is it. The coaching team was nothing short of amazing. They genuinely care about every single swimmer’s progress, safety, and enjoyment. Thanks to their expert, attentive guidance, I saw a massive improvement in my swimming technique over the course of the trip. That level of care from the coaches naturally trickles down into the group dynamic, creating a vibe that is incredibly supportive, warm, and genuinely encouraging from day one. The locations were spectacular. We got to swim along stunning, rugged coastal areas and even navigate through breathtaking sea caves—an absolute thrill. What made it even more special was the setting: the Izu Peninsula is a hidden gem truly off the beaten track. It felt like a privilege to experience a unique side of Japan and its rich culture that few tourists ever get to see. And the cuisine? Phenomenal. Enjoying authentic, local Japanese dishes after a long day in the water was the perfect finish to every day.
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Whether you want to elevate your swimming, explore stunning natural wonders, or immerse yourself in Japanese culture, this trip delivers it all. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

Brenton and Mitch were great to work with at the clinic, Good to get video analysis to work on straight away, practice some new drills and go home knowing what you need to work on.
