Ricardo from Adamastor Swim Adventures

Join us for an exhilarating conversation with Ricardo Jorge Correia—also known as “El Professor”—the visionary founder of Adamastor Swim Adventures. With a Sports Science degree, over 200 open-water and triathlon races, and years coaching since 1997, Ricardo has transformed his passion into epic swimming holidays, swim tours, and clinics along Portugal’s Algarve coast and the Azores.

In this episode, we dive into how Ricardo fell in love with the ocean, the story behind the Adamastor name, and what sets his ocean swim adventures apart—from guided tours of Albufeira, Portimão, Carvoeiro, Benagil, Lagos, and Sagres, to unforgettable experiences like the Sagres Cape Cross and seven-day trips in the Algarve and Azores.

We also explore the safety protocols, wildlife encounters, and Ricardo’s favorite top ocean swim locations—including Salema, Albandeira caves, the Sagres islets, Portimão-to-Alvor coastline, and sunrise swims in Alvor.

Whether you’re an open-water swimmer, adventure traveler, or nature lover, this episode offers a front-row seat to discovering Portugal’s most breathtaking swim spots.
