Tusker Rock picnic

Ever looked out from Porthcawl or Ogmore and thought about exploring tusker rock?! Now is your chance with our full day Tusker Picnic Swim!! Only above the water at low tide, Tusker Rock sits just over a mile off the Welsh coast, this booking is for up to three people, leaving Porthcawl approx 3.5 hours before low water and heading up the coast towards Southern down. Swimmers have plenty of time to practice next to the boat (with either one two or three swimmers in the water, conditions and swim ability depending) before we turn and head out towards the rock. You can have up to an hour to explore the rock and have your picnic, before the tide begins to take it back! Swimmers must do battle once again, escorted by the Dreamchaser; your mission now is to make it back to shore!

Details:

The rock is only accessible at low tide so the booking has to leave Porthcawl before the last lock out and will not return til the lock opens in approx 6.5 hours time. Tide times vary so the start times vary accordingly and is highly weather dependent. If the swim is blown out, we will re-arrange to the earliest mutually agreeable date. We can end the trip early and drop swimmers on the beach but you should plan to be out for the full day. You are welcome to spend as much time in the water or on the boat as you would like; you do not need to be a super swimmer or capable of swimming for hours and hours to go on this adventure!
