New Open Water Coach at Swim4fun: Welcome, Ricardo Arraias

Swim4fun continues to grow, and we’re excited to welcome Ricardo Arraias as our new coach dedicated to open water swimming sessions.

Swimming has been part of Ricardo’s life since he was six years old, creating a strong and lasting connection with the water. With a background in sport diving, he was also part of the rescue diving team at the Cascais Volunteer Fire Department, gaining valuable experience and confidence in open water environments.

He later invested in swimming instruction training and, in 2010, began competing in triathlon, further strengthening his experience in endurance sports and outdoor swimming.

Ricardo now joins Swim4fun to support our open water sessions, helping swimmers adapt to the sea, improve technique, and build confidence in a natural environment.

Welcome to Swim4fun, Ricardo!
