Surf, Swim & Fitness Retreat in Siargao with Coaching and Island Adventures

The SwimFIT Retreat is the creation of Dr. David, a professional swimmer with a university education in Physical Activity & Sports Sciences and Psychology from the U.S. He's been coaching for over a decade, working with babies, children, and adults, and he brings that experience into everything here. He's competed professionally for over 7 years, trained under elite coaches around the world, and now focuses on teaching others to swim smarter, move better, and actually enjoy their training.

The retreat is hosted at Villa Luna, a boutique property in General Luna on the main road (Purok 5, near the fire station). The villas have a Balinese feel, are solar-powered with battery and generator backup, and have A/C, hot showers, and Starlink WiFi. There's a shared pool, a chill-out area, and a rooftop space for work or relaxing. Night security is included, which is a nice touch.

Your days typically involve a mix of surfing, swimming, and dryland training. Surfing happens on Siargao's famous breaks (the island is known for Cloud 9 and other world-class waves), and you'll get 8 hours of surf coaching plus another 8 hours of swimming and fitness training spread across the week. Video analysis helps you see your technique, and you'll get professional photos and drone footage as a souvenir of your progress.

Recovery is built into the schedule, with daily stretching, a full-body massage, and two guided ice bath sessions. There's also a full-day island-hopping excursion to the Tri-Islands (like Daku, Guyam, and Naked Island) with a boodle fight lunch—a big spread of local food laid out on banana leaves, eaten with your hands.

The atmosphere is social but not chaotic. You'll be staying in shared or private villas with other guests, and the organizers note that many people leave with lifelong friendships. The schedule is flexible enough that you can go at your own pace, and the motorbike (included) means you're free to explore when you're not training.
