Open Water Swim Camp With SwimForTri

20th – 26th March 2026

Hosted by the SwimForTri swim coaches, this camp will help you gain confidence in open water. It will teach you how to swim just the racecourse distance as many unnecessarily add 100’s of metres, teach you how often you should sight and help with relaxed breathing. We can help with the OW FC technique as it can differ from pool swimming and wetsuit fitting skills. The training will cover race tactics, and we can help both Triathletes and those just racing open water.

Training

  • The sessions are perfect for competitors from open water newcomers to intermediate levels – but several pros have also attended in the past
  • The aim is to mix practical workouts with talks, videos and demonstrations
  • Athletes who have a few years of endurance training in Swimming or Triathlon will find it manageable and entertaining
  • Please remember your swim equipment such as a pool buoy, kickboard, flippers, central feed snorkel and Otion swim paddles (or your own) and a wetsuit.
