WATER CONFIDENCE SESSIONS
These sessions are to help people take their 1st steps into safely and confidently moving from the pool setting to the open water environment in either the lake or sea. Contact UsEver since the pandemic more and more people are venturing into the open water which is fantastic. The only problem is that the open water does come with risks not usually associated with pool swimming.
These sessions cover all the things that a novice swimmer needs to understand and be aware of to help keep you safe and comfortable with all eventualities that could potentially happen in the open water. For example, how to spot a rip current, how to escape from a rip, understanding the stages of hypothermia and how to avoid after drop. How to choose when and where to swim and the best times to go is something you learn with experience. We can guide you and give you all the tools to help you know how to start planning the right time to swim.
