Travel Insurance

As a guest on our swimming adventure, it is essential to have adequate travel insurance that covers all activities included in your trip. It's your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient coverage for these activities.

Please remember to bring a copy of your current Certificate of Insurance to the safety briefing at the beginning of your holiday. Your swim guides will need to record your insurer, policy number, and emergency claim contact number.

If you're in search of a travel insurance policy, there are many options available. Please reach out to us for help finding suitable coverage.

Note that some insurance providers may have age restrictions. If you require insurance and fall into a category that may not be covered, please reach out to us, and we can assist you in finding alternative providers.
