About Us
Our mantra is “never swim alone”, and this makes open water swimming an extremely social sport!
GOWSC started out as a group of friends who would meet every Sunday, head out for a swim followed by a meal with friends and family.
What started out as a leisurely weekly hobby with a few like-minded swimmers, slowly evolved into a full fledged club with people from all over the country coming down to Goa to join us on our regular nautical adventures!
With a strong emphasis on safety and a commitment to share the joys of sea swimming, the club has conducted over 300 long and short swims and has trained over 1000 people over the years. In 2021 we launched a new monthly experience for our participants - Open Water Training Camps for both beginners and advanced swimmers!
With a combined swimming experience of over 50 years, the club members leave no stone unturned to ensure you get the most out of your open water experiences. All our swims are conducted by well seasoned professionals, safety is taken very seriously and trained lifeguard/ kayak/ boat support is always available on every open water expedition.
“Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love.”
