Our Premium Coaching Locations

 

Our open water season runs from May to October at premier coastal and unique open-air training environments.

 

Sessions are systematically planned around optimal tides to guarantee maximum safety and training quality.

• Hayling Island: Exceptional coastal environment ideal for comprehensive technical drills and long endurance blocks.
