Sea Swim Montenegro Coast — Dive into Adriatic Blue 🌊✨
Glide over seagrass and pale rock, weave between coves under pine-scented headlands, and feel the Adriatic adopt you — that’s what a sea swim along Montenegro’s coast feels like with expert guides and calm water. 🐟🏝️
From sheltered bays to hidden coves, this isn’t just a swim — it’s a rhythm of water, rock, and light that stays with you long after you climb out.

Lake Bled and Slovenian Alps SwimTrek Day 1 of 3. Tuesday July 29, 2025
This is a shortie trip, so the two full days we have are packed. We started at Lake Bled and swam to the church, then swam back to the shore. Then we had lunched and hiked to the top of a hill for a vantage point. Then we got back in the water and swam the entire length of the lake along their cable. The temps were fine, about 70, and we saw a lot of giant fat catfish.
After all the swimming, we changed and got back into the van and went to a very delicious Slovenian restaurant that opened like last month. We have two local Slovenian guides with us, who are really excellent. They know the owners, the cheese is from the local cows, and everything was really delicious. We were back at the hotel by like 8 I think, for a solid 12 hour day.
The swimming and sightseeing is really enjoyable, but I did not come prepared for the colder weather or all the changing. We need swim stuff and sneakers for hiking and warm clothes for after swim etc etc, which is overall fine, just takes a lot of coordination. Also I am wearing things many days in a row because that’s just what’s gotta happen because i only have one pair of casual stretch pants and one pair of proper pants. It’s all okay, but it’s a good reminder that travel is hard. It’s especially hard when you strip down fully to swim twice a day.
Monday July 28, 2025, Lake Bohinj, Slovenia
Today was mostly free and also much chillier than expected so we took the bus into Bled to buy some warmer clothes. I got a hooded windbreaker/raincoat that’s actually pretty nice, and a hi vis neon green baseball cap, which I’ve actually been wanting for a while. I can deal with a lot, but I cannot deal with rain on my faceface. Temps are in the mid 60s for the next few days, with rain expected, which is like not swimming weather, so I am anticipating a lot of personal growth.
We took a chaotic and late bus back to Lake Bohinj with a driver who being an asshole to everyone. Some girls didn’t have exact change so he yelled at them to go get it, then closed the door and left while they were knocking on the door to get in. Then he wouldn’t let a man out at a stop and made him ride like 2km out of town while the man was yelling at him that he had pressed the stop signal but it didn’t work. Then he yelled at another girl who didn’t have exact change, but luckily a guy there just paid for her. Idk if it’s something about the euro but both here and in Montenegro, store clerks are very preoccupied with exact change and small bills. They ask every single time, don’t you have something smaller? Don’t you have a 50 or a 10 coin? And if you don’t, they just, like, make the change anyway. And multiple times, if you don’t have exact change they’ll just give it to you cheaper rather than make change, which is baffling. But for the buses here, you can only buy tickets with cash, and most people are buying them from the driver, and the drivers are often insisting on either exact change or very close to it. Seems like a deeply inefficient system to me, but what do I know.
Anyway, after all that we got back safely, albeit irritated, and I took a very long walk around the entire lake. It was beautiful and it reset my brain. Then we met all the other swim trekkers at 830pm here in the hotel, and we will set off at 745 tomorrow morning to start swimming!
Sunday July 27, 2025, Ljubljana to Lake Bohinj.
Mary and I wandered around Ljubljana in the morning, in the old town and the Ljubljana Castle. This is a very cool city. It has youthful and fun vibes, lots of street art, lots of families out and about. I would love to come back and spend some more time here. Everyone loves a funicular!
Then we got onto a bus and made our way about two hours outside of town to Lake Bohinj, in the Triglav National Park. This is the only national park in Slovenia, in the Julian Alps. It’s beautiful, and reminds me a lot of the fjords in Norway. We checked into our hotel and wandered around a bit, and then got absolutely soaked in a hellacious thunder/rain storm. Luckily the hotel was cozy and has a restaurant in house! Also I have my own room for the first time in like 9 days, so this is feeling very luxurious.
Montenegro SwimTrek Final Day, Friday July 25, 2025. We came down to breakfast to our completion certificates and a notice to give our doctors just in case we became ill?? One of the couples has been having some GI distress since Wednesday, which they think had to do with the pizza we ate when we came back from the lake. Because of that, apparently SwimTrek requires the guides to hand out these cards. So I asked, wait, is the lake known to have Leptospirosis? The answer is no, that they are covering their asses just in case anyone gets sick. No one else has been sick to my knowledge, and I feel fine, but it introduces many questions. The British couple is feeling better so far anyway. It seems like the guides just happen to have these cards handy, so maybe it’s not specific to the lake we swam in. Either way, strange and generally not great!
In other news, we did a final early swim at 6am around the Lady of the Rock. As we were swimming around the back, someone said the water was cloudy and to keep your heads up because the bathroom on the island had an outlet behind the island. So, our track has not been great this week! My body is cauldron of leptospirosis and fecal matter! Luckily it’s been pretty scrappy so far so let’s hope my immune system continues to be a fighter.
We proceeded to spend the day lazing by the pool, dozing and reading, then rallying for a delicious dinner overlooking the bay.
