Open water swimming is a different sport! It takes a strong mindset but also an applied technique.

Our swimming clinics are the best opportunity to improve your open water skills, technique and take your performance to the next level. You can expect structured sessions guided by experienced coaches and international swimmers who will help you achieve your goals through a personalised approach.

This clinic is for those who are already confident in Open Water and want to learn the advanced technique to make the most out of it in competitions.

The programme is a combination of theory, drills in the swimming pool and in the sea:
- Dryland
- Sighting and orientation
- Pack swimming skills (e.g. drafting, rolling over)
- Technique (e.g. stroke rate, arms position, pool vs open water)
- What to do with your legs?
- Entering and exiting the water
- Turning around buoys
- Individual approaches to racing strategy
- Nutrition for ultra endurance events

This clinic will be composed of 2 parts: one part at the swimming pool (location in the EVENT INFORMATION section) and one part in the sea (Kite Beach)
