Open Water
Weekly coached sessions
From May onwards we run weekly open-water coached sessions, aimed at novice and improver open-water swimmers.
If you are looking to participate in one of the Great Swim Series swims or want to develop your open-water swimming with a view to participating in your first triathlon, these sessions would be ideal for you.
The sessions are progressive in nature and run on a 5-week cycle, introducing specific skills from week 1, and building on confidence and experience throughout the course. Skills such as acclimatisation, sighting, group-swimming, turns etc. are introduced and developed throughout the course.
We advise that people book for the whole 4 week course to take advantage of the progressive nature of the sessions and discounted session price.
During May and June the sessions will be based at the QEII Lake facility, Woodhorn, which allows a relatively controlled introduction to open-water.
If you know in advance that you cannot make certain sessions, but still wish to attend, it is possible to book on individual sessions, but this must be done in advance to allow us to manage group numbers. Please contact us if this is the case.
All sessions are fully life-guarded with canoe support and excellent coach-to-pupil ratios.
