Intermediate Sea Swim Challenges

Service Description

Join us for a 2-day residential or day advanced sea swim course with Olympic open water medalist Cassie Patten. It's the perfect way to prepare for a sea swim challenge, especially if you've never attempted one before ....or just a fantastic opportunity to improve your front crawl sea swim technique. Cassie is a wonderful coach who coaches swimmers of all abilities from beginner to elite. If you are a confident front crawl swimmer with some experience of racing we are running a separate 'advanced' course on 5-6th June. We aim to divide our time between the Lymington Seawater Baths and the beach at Milford-on-Sea. The coaching will involve land-based sessions, one-to-one pool technical analysis and sea swim practice such as buoy turns, drafting and close-quarters group swimming. The exact amount of swimming in the sea may be limited by adverse conditions and will be determined by Cassie and our lifeguards' risk assessment on the day. This intermediate course is aimed at competent front crawl pool swimmers with some experience of the sea but who are hoping to improve confidence and technique in preparation for their first open water sea swim challenge, not necessarily a race. The 'advanced' course, on 5-6th June is more suitable for confident sea swimmers who have already completed at least one open water race/challenge and are hoping to improve their front crawl technique for the next one. Lunch is included in the price.
