ABOUT SWIM LANZAROTE & ME

Paul Cardwell

Swim Lanzarote was created out of a clear need—so many strong pool swimmers struggle in open water. I saw coaches stuck in outdated routines and swimmers missing the bigger picture. Open water isn’t just about speed—it’s about awareness, adaptability, and confidence. You don’t have to be the fastest to "win" in open water. It's like running through a forest without noticing the trees or the light above. I’m here to help open your eyes to everything this environment offers.

I’ve been coaching swimmers of all levels for years. I started volunteering at 14, became a full-time school and club instructor by 16, and never looked back. As much as I loved rivers and lochs, the call of the ocean grew stronger—helped along by Hawaii 5-0, Old Spice ads, and a bit of Baywatch. Eventually, I swapped cold water for blue skies and warm seas, and Swim Lanzarote was born.
