Whether your goal is to complete your first open water event, improve your next triathlon swim, or become more capable and confident in the sea, this clinic will give you practical skills you can use immediately.

Maximum skill transfer. Zero wasted time.
Your entire sea swim progression delivered through four focused, high-impact blocks.
Each block combines a short land-based briefing with immediate in-water application — so you understand the why, then apply it straight away in real conditions.
You stay warm, focused, and learning continuously across the full session.
Bonus: We finish by 10:00am — avoiding peak beach crowds, securing easy parking, and giving you your weekend back.
Why am I fast in the pool, but slower in the sea?
Every summer, triathletes and open water swimmers lose time and energy not through fitness — but through conditions they don’t fully adapt to.
Common challenges include:
-
Swimming off course due to wind, swell, or current
-
Losing direction in low sun or poor visibility
-
Wasted energy in beach starts and chop
-
Inconsistent sighting and navigation
-
Poor positioning in open water groups
Fitness gets you to the start line.
Technique and sea skills get you to the finish faster.
This clinic bridges the gap between pool fitness and real-world open water performance.
