Distance Swim

*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 distance sessions are for swimmers who are able to swim 1km+ front crawl confidently and continuously in a pool and have swum in open water before.

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

All sessions except on a Sunday or Monday 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 a Sunday and Monday will be at Bognor East.

Due to high winds 4/8/25 will be postponed, sorry
