Who's it for?

This course is for you if you want to explore what else you can do with swimming whether that's taking part in your first open water event, building up to a longer distance swim challenge, training for a race or getting fitter for a swimming holiday. Ideally, you can already comfortably swim several hundred metres and can dedicate a few hours each week to swimming.

What others say

"Simon is naturally adventurous in the water; he is also encouraging and knowledgeable. He is a fantastic swim mentor as he generously imparts his experience, nudging me to expand my swimming horizons and suggesting fun challenges to embrace. A winter programme is the perfect way to focus your training for a specific event and to improve overall fitness. With Simon's guidance I have tweaked my stroke and I've improved my body position, reducing back pain when swimming front crawl but the main gain is the ambition and confidence he has given me to explore where my swimming can take me."
