Swim squad sessions are
NOT designed to be one off sessions. Squad sessions should be
attended as much as possible on a weekly basis. These are not
1-to-1 based sessions but group sessions where we will build on
generic open water skills, technical skills and fitness. For
individual feedback please book a 1-to-1 open water
session.Swim and train in a group session with
South West Swim, improve your journey and be part of others
journeys.
NOTE: Provisional dates and times are provided and this
session will only run if there is sufficient interest and
bookings. These may change nearer the time dependant on lake
openings, weather and water temperatures. We are basing these
sessions on COVID restrictions being more relaxed in spring /
summer 2021.
This is a fortnightly 60 minute squad session that is focused on swimmers wishing to boost cinfoicdence, skills and Fitness in an open water environment. IT is primarily aimed at those swimming around 1:50 mins per 100m to 2:40mins per 100m and is a mixed ability group environment.
Important: Our open water squad booking operates in the same way as our pool squads, whereby you will need to book into each squad you wish to attend individually. Booking your first session does not mean you are automatically booked into each subsequent session. This means you can sign up for the dates you can make in each squad, however with limited spaces it is wise to book every session you can as places are assigned on a first booked first served basis.
This session will be split into one week of open water skills and stroke focused work, and the next week of Swim Sets using various intensity levels. Rotating through the season and giving you a great mix of development.
This session is open to swimmers aged 18 years and over.
To take part in this squad you must be able to swim 200m of non stop front crawl and be no faster than 1:50 per 100m.
Tow floats for this session are mandatory, non wetsuit swimmers need to apply for a non wetsuit sign off with the head coach before participating in the session. This session will take place at Lake32
