Open water swimming is a truly different experience to the pool!
Open water swimming is for everyone of all abilities and age groups as long as you have the ability and confidence to swim without being able to put your feet down.
This session is designed for those new to open water swimming OR those wishing to learn more about this aspect of swimming. We cover all the aspects of safety in the open water and the sorts of things you might encounter when swimming in this wild environment. Also wetsuit fit and removal.
This is a 1hr 30mins session with 2 British Triathlon Open Water Swim Coaches where we have the options of being on paddleboards or one of us in the water as well. It starts with a little presentation covering all the safety aspects of open water, what to expect and any questions you might have. Then we will show you how to fit your wetsuits on and take you into the water to enjoy this new experience of open water swimming!
