Description

An instructor led session for beginners, with little or no experience, to experience the freedom of open water swimming.  In this session you will be supported by our British Triathlon qualified open water coach who will lay the foundations regarding what kit to wear during and after your swim, what to expect in and out of the water and how to plan for it.  This small group session will be split between land and water based.  

There are toilets, changing rooms and showers available.
