Improvers
You’ve dipped in the sea, been for some social swims, or perhaps you’re confident in the pool but still finding your feet in the open water — our improver sessions are for you.
These open water swimming sessions will get you making waves as you transition from dipper to swimmer. We’ll help you level up your swimming style, confidence and open water skills so you can fully immerse yourself in open water swimming.
Get in touch to discuss open water swimming sessions for improvers.
Advanced
If you know your way around the water and feel at home swimming among the fishies, you’re what we’d call an advanced swimmer.
We love supporting advanced swimmers in pursuit of their swim-based goals. Whether it’s helping you train for a triathlon, improve your front crawl, or achieve another swimming goal, we have you covered.
We can also work with you 121 to develop event or goal-focused training plans.
