Wild Swimming at Loch Venachar

  • Meet the tour guide, who will pick you up at 10:00 a.m., or meet directly at the lochside at 10:30 a.m.
  • Spend up to 2 hours at the lochside. If you would like an open-water swimming lesson, we can start with the basics or fine-tune your technique, depending on your level. We have a qualified Oceanman Open Water Swimming Coach with an up-to-date lifeguarding qualification. If you would like to do a longer swim or a loch crossing, we can provide kayak safety support. If you would like to experience 'dipping', this can be done with time spent exploring the lochside and enjoying the scenery.
  • Enjoy a hot drink and a biscuit, which will be provided, and take photographs of the beautiful scenery. You may also have time to explore the lochside at your leisure.
  • Return to your stay.

If you have a non-swimmer in your party, a paddleboard and life jacket can be provided within the tour cost if they would also like a loch experience.
