After reading the testimonial by Jos\u00e9 Ferreira, the new Swim4fun coach here on the blog, I felt really eager to go swimming in Matosinhos!
I took advantage of a family commitment and combined business with pleasure, heading to Matosinhos for the weekend, hoping to meet Z\u00e9 and swim in \u201ccold waters,\u201d rough and wavy just the way I love!
Spoiler: none of that happened\u2026 but it was wonderful all the same.
That weekend, Z\u00e9 had a competition in Galicia, so the session in Matosinhos was with Bibiana\u2014and it turned out to be everything I wasn\u2019t expecting, and I still loved it!
Matosinhos beach is huge (both in length and width), and it gives you an incredible sense of freedom to swim! And without having to constantly change direction, like we do on the beaches in Cascais and Oeiras.
I brought the warmest wetsuit I had, but the water wasn\u2019t cold at all. The sea was very calm the whole time\u2014no chop, no currents, no waves, not even those little \u201cbaby waves.\u201d
I thought, the sea has decided to take a break\u2026 something I clearly don\u2019t know how to do\u2014and it decided to calm me down! And you know what? It felt so good.
The session itself was an incredible experience, the kind that reminds us why we love the sea so much\u2014even when it doesn\u2019t show up the way we imagine.
And in the middle of all this, I can\u2019t get a line from a Vitorino song out of my head:
\u201cNunca mais eu chego ao Porto
Ao porto de Matosinhos\u201d<\/a>
Well, I hope for the opposite. I hope to go back there many times! With more waves, perhaps. With colder water, who knows. But above all, with the same enthusiasm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, I have to give a special shout-out to the mastermind behind this brilliant idea: Congratulations, Bibiana, for bringing these classes to Matosinhos! It\u2019s one of those simple ideas that just makes perfect sense\u2014and feels even better when you actually experience it. I\u2019m really hoping this is just the beginning and that these classes spread all along our coast. Because the sea deserves to be experienced in different accents, different temperatures, and different states of mind (including the more turbulent ones, like mine)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
