Ready to take your swimming beyond the pool? This 4-week open water swim clinic is designed for swimmers looking to build confidence and skill in open water environments. Whether you're training for a triathlon or preparing for your first open water swim event, this clinic will help you transition safely and effectively.

Each one-hour session begins with a short on-land discussion covering key topics like sighting, pacing, entry/exit strategies, gear recommendations, and safety techniques. You'll then put those skills into practice with a coached group swim in a variety of open water settings — including both salt water and fresh water.

Requirements:

• Must be able to swim at least 300 yards continuously in a pool

• This is not a learn-to-swim clinic

• Swim buoy, goggles, and a bright swim cap are required

• Wetsuits are encouraged

Led by experienced open water coaches, each session includes water safety support with at least two guides on paddleboards to lead and trail the group.

This instructional clinic is tailored for swimmers interested in beginning distance swimming in the open water or just looking to improve their freestyle stroke. Participants should already possess basic swimming skills but may not yet be comfortable swimming 25 yards or more with proper breathing. Each session will be held at The Avery Point Athletic Center Pool to teach proper form and technique of freestyle/ front crawl. All skill levels are welcome to this swim program, with personalized workouts tailored to your needs - the BESPOKE way!
