Intro to Open Water Swimming Clinics

These three-hour clinics will prepare you to swim comfortably in open water. We will teach you everything you need to know: how to relax in the open water, how to work with the cold, how to swim with the currents, how to swim more efficiently, how to sight, and how to enjoy yourself. The program includes a one-hour talk / Q&A, a 60-minute swim (with lots of resting), and a short debrief (more Q&A) after the swim.

If you are interested in trying open water swimming for the first time, have had a bad open water swimming experience in the past, are apprehensive about the cold water, or want to know more about what swimming in a natural environment feels like, this intro clinic is perfect for you. Please note this is not a technique clinic. This class is intended for people brand new to open water or who have tried open water swimming and struggled with it or hated it. Swimmer to coach ratio will not exceed 5:1. We require pre-registration. Links to registration follow below.

Requirements for Participation: We require that you are able to cover 500 yards (20 lengths) of the pool, doing the crawl stroke, without stopping.


Dates for 2015 will be posted in April. Please check back with us then

Clinic includes: Three hours of instruction (two hours on land, one hour in water), individual feedback on stroke and open water skills, question and answer time.
