OPEN WATER SWIMMING 2010

220 Magazine OPEN WATER SWIMMING Article

Unlike running or cycling the open water swim leg of a triathlon is usually the most intimidating element for any new athlete to the sport. Even experienced pool swimmers can find open water swimming introduces challenges that are well outside their experience and perform well below potential as a result. Once mastered, open water swimming to pool swimming is like comparing trail running to track sessions and a time to enjoy being in the outdoors rather than in a chlorinated indoor pool!


OPEN WATER COACHING (121 & Small Groups)

With the 2010 season upon us and the water now warm enough for coaching we are running open water sessions.

    KING STURGE PROPERTY TRIATHLON OPEN WATER TRAINING

    Sunday July 4th
    We are running the final session on Sunday Morning at the Westhorpe Water Sports Centre, Marlow.

    Whilst the courses ae timed for athletes preparing for the King Sturge Property Triathlon on July 9th the courses are open to everyone.

    The dynamic of a group course versus 121 coaching allows us to give you a better feel for the challenge of swimming alongside other swimmers in a unregulated environment (no lanes!). The sessions will feature all the elements of open water swimming technique but also combine with this how to cope in a more race like situation.

    The sessions are comprised of skills and group skills, so that if you have already had some 121 open water coaching or just want to practice your skills within the group session then it is a great opportunity to practice another dimension.
