Discover the magic of open water swimming with individual or group sessions led by our experienced open water swimming coaches based right here in Southend-on-Sea.
We believe everyone deserves to dip their toes into the world of open water swimming. That’s why we offer three types of open water swimming sessions suitable for beginners, social dippers, and experienced swimmers and athletes.
Take a look at our Swim Safe, Swim Skill, and Swim Strong open water coaching packages below — all of which are available as 121 or group bookings!
Want to try open water swimming for the first time? Interested in dipping in the sea but not sure what to expect or how to stay safe? Then you need to Swim Safe!
Perfect for new, novice or nervous dippers, Swim Safe is our introductory open water swimming session. In the Swim Safe sessions, we’ll set your nerves at ease and help you overcome any fear or anxiety in the sea. You’ll gain all the sea swimming tips and advice you need to confidently and safely dip in the water.
Our Swim Skill sessions are perfect for dippers, novice or improver swimmers looking to take their open water swimming journey to the next level.
In these Skill specific sessions we’ll teach you key open water skills in a safe, supervised and supportive environment. We’ll help you hone your confidence as you learn to improve your swimming style and start to venture beyond dipping.
Experienced swimmers, athletes and swimmers who have set themselves a goal will all benefit most from a Swim Strong session.
Whether you’re training for a triathlon or event, have set yourself a swimming goal or you want to improve your technique, Swim Strong has everything you need to achieve your goals. In these sessions, our experienced open water swimming coaches will offer personalised advice and guidance as we help you achieve your water-based goals.

Then let me indulge you in some of the wonderful benefits of open water swimming…
Open water swimming, whether that’s sea swimming, dipping in the estuary or trying out a spot of lake swimming, is an exhilarating experience. It’s a great opportunity to let your hair down (or keep it dry under a swimming cap), laugh til your cheeks ache, and make memories with amazing friends.
The mental health benefits of open water swimming are unmissable. Being by, or in, the water is one of my favourite ways to calm my mind and soothe my soul. And I’m sure the rest of the GONE FOR A SWIM tribe will wholeheartedly agree!
Finally, open water swimming pushes the boundaries of your comfort zone AND gives you a chance to keep fit while learning or improving your swimming skills. From cold water swimming to social dips, triathlon training, and swim retreats, I’m certain everyone will find something they love about open water swimming.
"From a sea induction, sea coaching, to organised yoga & swim courtesy of Jo Good and her fabulous team. I have felt in completely safe hands. Jo has given me the confidence to try out organised distance swims and even a sponsored 1.4mile sea swim for charity. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back myself" — Emma
