Tankerton Slopes Lifeguard Hut
These sessions are aimed at swimmers who are new to open water swimming and want to gain confidence. We will cover the basic fundamentals for swimming in open water and guide you through safety procedures for swimming at sea.
There will be a mix of pool-based sessions and open-water sea swimming sessions. You will be given pointers on stroke improvement and sighting techniques to develop within your own swim style and information will be shared on how to access weather/sea conditions/ Apps on the internet.
We will also be able to assist with advice on equipment needed to swim safely and comfortably throughout the year in open-water.
PLEASE NOTE - these sessions are not for total beginners to swimming: you should already be competent at swimming 200 meters.

We will try to provide as much advance warning as possible if a session needs to be postponed but this will be due to environmental factors outside of our control.
