Swimruncamp - Sea adventure in the outer archipelago

The outer archipelago off Nämdö offers fantastic opportunities for swimrun and open water swimming.

Outside Idöborg, there is challenging swimming around skerries and along the cliffs of Långskär. If you want to do a swimrun, we have a course across Långskär and into the western part of Böteskobben and Kalvholmen, but there are also many exciting short swimming distances. Nämdö offers gentle, varied trails in primeval forest-like areas.

During the weekend, we will also take an adventure trip to Skoboraden (Ormskär, Brunskär, Brunskärs Trätskär), where you can swim in narrow straits, channels, bays, and lagoons, with short running distances over cliffs.

We are based at Idöborg, just outside Nämdö. There we stay in single rooms in cozy houses (shared bathrooms and toilets) and enjoy full board. Breakfast is served in peace and quiet, either outdoors or indoors, with beautiful views. We bring packed lunches with us on our adventures during the day. The newly built sauna with sea views is a wonderful way to relax after the day's adventures. Dinner consists of two courses in a relaxing environment, either indoors or outdoors. We are simply close to nature even when we are not training.

We train just outside and around Idöborg on Nämdö and in Skoboraden. When we go on our adventure trip to the archipelago south of Idöborg, we paddle for about 45 minutes. If necessary, we also have transport assistance by boat.

We keep the group together and make sure everyone keeps up. The experience and feeling good are what we are most interested in. Of course, we train and challenge ourselves. We try new things and get tips and tricks about swimrun, swimming, and training in the archipelago.

The leaders are Ulf Hausmann, a professional swim coach and expert in swimming and swimrun, and Jonas Hållén, who has been paddling and swimming in the area for many years and helps us find the gems among the islands in the area.
