Distance Training- for events of 4km+

• Practise starts, entries, drafting and buoy turns for open water events
• Listen to tips on sighting and stroke technique before your swim
• Refine your distance swimming with guidance on more efficient technique

*If the date below is not showing up green on my booking calendar and you would like this day please contact me.*

Only on your first booking a questionnaire & disclaimer will need to be completed and signed. If there are any amendments from previous sessions Sandy Toed Sea Swimmers must be notified. If you are including additional swimmers to your booking, please 'invite' them via your confirmation email, this will send them the relevant forms to be completed beforehand.

These long distance swimming sessions are for swimmers who are training for an event of 4km+ and have swum in open water before. They must be able to swim front crawl confidently and continuously in a pool for at least 2km.

Please allow enough time to do your own warm-up and cool down before and after your session.

All sessions except on Sundays & Mondays will be held at The Boathouse, Felpham unless location and time has to be changed due to circumstances out of my control - I will notify you if this is this case. Sessions on Sundays and Mondays will be at Bognor East.
