Lisbon Swimming School

General Information

At SwimTogether, we believe the sea is the best swimming pool there is. We are the first Open Water Swimming School in Portugal and, since 2021, we have been swimming daily in the ocean along the Cascais and Oeiras coastline. No walls, no limits, and in total harmony with nature.

We support swimmers and triathletes of all ages and levels, from those new to open-water swimming to experienced athletes aiming to refine technique, endurance, and confidence. Our coaching approach focuses on developing autonomous, aware swimmers, fully prepared to face the challenges of the sea safely and efficiently. Our coaching team includes former elite athletes, some with Olympic participation and national championship titles.

We offer individual and group training sessions, customized training plans, equipment rental, clinics, and training camps. All sessions are led by qualified instructors, with continuous supervision and full respect for sea and weather conditions. Every stroke is designed to promote learning, growth, and enjoyment in open water swimming.

Evaluation Session

During this introductory open water session, you will learn about our teaching methodology while our coaches assess your current swimming level. This evaluation allows us to choose the most appropriate class for you, when becoming a member.

To participate, you must have basic swimming skills, specifically the ability to swim 100 consecutive meters in freestyle or breaststroke.

If you prefer a private trial session or are unsure whether your swimming level is sufficient, we recommend booking a private session for non-members.

Private Session

Customized training is ideal for those who prefer individual coaching and want to achieve results faster and more effectively.

Private sessions take place from Monday to Sunday and last 60 minutes. Scheduling is simple and flexible.
