This workshop is aimed at those new to open water swimming. No matter what standard of swimmer you are, the transition between pool and open water can be extremely daunting. This course will help you gain the confidence, knowledge and skills you need to enjoy this new environment. We will also cover Ripon Triathlon event specific knowledge to help you get the most out of your event. 

We deliberately keep the swimmer to coach ratio small to ensure swimmers get the best possible support throughout the workshop.

Our coaches are all British Triathlon Certified and insured and our lead coach is Swim Smooth trained & Certified. 

The price includes wetsuit hire if required, a brightly coloured swim cap and a donantion to the Brownlee Foundation Charity. 

This workshop will be held at the following location.
