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 deliberately keep the swimmer to coach ratio small (10 to 1 max) 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.

Rather than entering a specific distance you can enter for a flat fee and on the day you can do as much or as little as you feel like (min 1km, Max 10km). So if you would normally swim 5km but after 3km you feel you've had enough you can cross the line to stop your time! You can take it a lap at a time and see how far you get.

Don't forget that after each 1km swim you need to run 100m before diving in for another lap or to run across the finish line to stop your race time!

It's very simple Swim, Run, Repeat!!
