Description
This is a mixed-ability group to suit all standards from dippers up to channel swimmers.
Join this session if you:
- have experience with sea/cold water swimmer
- looking to sea swim with safety cover and guidance
- wish to benefit from the Blue Mind and cold water experience safely
This session will focus on sea safety and developing technique, confidence, distance and speed.
The group will swim/dip between 50-1000m each session. We will be in the water for between 20-30 minutes.
The group will split to support different standards/speeds.
This is a coached Open Water Swimming session based at the Royal William Yard/Firestone Bay, Plymouth. Safety cover will be provided by a qualified lifeguard.
Date & Time: Session specific (book and pay separately)
Location: Firestone Bay (we meet by the tidal pool at Devils Point)
Hats are provided for the session. Feel free to bring your own tow float.
Swimmers MUST adhere to the government's social distancing rules.
Wetsuits are optional. If you wish to attend this session and swim without a wetsuit, a discussion will need to happen before booking (please contact me!)
The water will be cold! We will provide support in the water but it is the swimmer's responsibility to ensure they warm up after the session. Ensure you bring warm clothing and wrap up quickly after the session.
We do not take any responsibility for the arrival or departure. We would however advise that all participants (and spectators) respect social distancing, especially on land. As spectators, please be aware of the size of your group.
