1:1 Open Water Coaching - Beginner to Advance
Make that change with bespoke coaching sessions tailored to your goals.
Whether you are a seasoned swimmer or beginner, the aim of coaching sessions are to encourage and educate, building your ability and confidence so you can safely and efficiently gain everything you want to achieve from open water swimming.
I will look at your technique, helping you obtain the most efficient body position, maintaining effective breathing and maximising propulsion. I can also provide you with underwater video analysis to help you achieve a greater sense of your swimming self, along with a swimming plan to help assist with changes.
For the intermediate and advance swimmers we will look at Drafting, Buoy Turns, Pack Swimming and Sighting helping you gain an advantage over your swim event rivals.
Get in touch to discuss suitable times, as these sessions are flexible and work around the sea conditions, weather and your availability.
