“All of my prior swimming ventures have been trumped by one week. If you’re a swimmer or triathlete, SwimVacation is THE way to vacation. Hopper and the Promenade crew put together a trip which showcased the British Virgin Islands in a very unique way. The twice daily swims in the crystal clear water can be modified to your ability, or to accommodate sea turtle sightings, various fish, sunken ships, and underwater caves. I didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!”

“Having traveled to some amazing places and done some cool things, I can honestly say that my experience on SwimVacation is near the top of the list. How can you compare to swimming twice a day with turtles, tarpon, and neon fish, followed by delicious meals and fantastic cocktails? Between the incredible location, the awesome crew/staff, and the all-inclusive nature of the trip, SwimVacation is destined to become a must-do adventure for triathletes and swimmers alike.”

“Hopper and Fitzy provided tips and instruction throughout each swim that helped immensely. I felt I was in good hands and would have never had that kind of swimming experience doing laps day-in and day-out in the pool. My swim stroke improved and I’m faster because of Swimvacation."

“I call myself an occasional Triathalete having completed 4 triathlons over 5 years. Hopper is the reason I even attempted my first triathlon. Like many, being a reasonable cyclist and runner, I knew my weak link was swimming and always chose the easy (or fun!) way of assembling a team to let me focus on what I knew I could do well. With Hopper’s gentle guidance I learned a few key tips to improve my swimming technique, but more importantly gained the confidence to go for all three legs of the event. He has always been considerate of my capability and coached me to an improved level of performance.”

"Since taking to the water as an athlete, I realize my best swim experiences have been with Hopper. He has helped me with my technique, conditioning, and mental state, and I learned that to swim well, one must attend to all three. Hopper's tips have cycled through my head in my workouts and my swim legs at Ironman and other races. What I have gained from this gifted swimmer and teacher has not only made my swimming more competitive, but has also made it enjoyable"
