Open water swimming
Open water swimming for triathlon, swim events or recreation has never been as popular. Get on board with all the health and wellbeing benefits of open water swimming now!
The prospect of dark water and putting on a wetsuit for the first time does require some particular skills so why not let me help you get started. Many of our clients have gone on to compete in their first triathlon open water event or take on a new challenge such as an Ironman and even swim the channel.
Join me for a 1-2-1 or group outing in the Thames at Marsh lock, The Flowerpot Jetty or Leander Club to learn some open water swimming basics or develop a long term coaching plan.
These locations will give you a taste and experience of the Henley Swim Events, featuring the Henley Mile, Thames Marathon and Club to Pub.
