Swimming in the sea is very different to swimming in the pool. This course provides you with technique advice alongside fitness practices to transition from pool to sea swimming.
This is a course of 4 x 45 minute sessions.
The groups are small.
This course is particularly suitable if you are anxious about starting your sea swimming journey and would like to improve your confidence in the water.
Choosing the right course for you will ensure you get the most out of your lessons.
All of our sessions and lessons are led by qualified and insured Swim Teachers and Open Water coaches who have a wealth of experience and a passion for making swimming accessible to all.
We teach in small groups with a focus on building confidence in our swimmers. We provide a warm and welcoming environment for you to feel comfortable and learn. We will gently encourage you on your journey towards your swim goals and help you realise your potential, however well-hidden it may be!
The course includes;
Practical Knowledge; understanding tides, currents, wind, waves and hazards.
Preparing for a swim: kit, acclimatisation, risk assessing
Learning to relax you stroke in differing sea conditions.
Safe entry and exit.
Navigating waves.
Sighting
Drafting
Adjusting your stroke and technique improvement advice
Lots of laughter

THE SUPER IMPORTANT STUFF to make your session comfortable and safe! Please read carefully and ensure you have all of the required kit.
The sea sessions are 45 minutes - you will not be in the water for the full duration but you will be outside for up to 60 minutes. Please ensure you wrap up warm for learning on the beach as well as in the water. Even if the sun is shining! If you think you have enough layers, you haven't - add more!
Please bring warm swimming gear with you. You need to be prepared to get changed on the beach.
They take place on the beach in front of King Alfred Leisure Centre for 4 consecutive weeks. The is a council carpark and public toilets close by.
For the sea session you will need,
Goggles, brightly coloured swim hat,
swim suit,
tow float if you have one,
neoprene accessories of your choices including gloves, socks, wetsuits
and lots of warm layers to change into after the swim.
We cannot over emphasis enough the need for warmth both in and out of the water and you will be changing on the beach.
If you are unacclimatised to sea temperature wear a wetsuit! Bring lots of warm layers, woolly hat, hot water bottles for the beach session and after your swim. Even in the summer months you get cold!
Also bring water, a hot drink and a snack.
You will need to pay to park on the seafront
If sea conditions do not allow us to run the session safely we may change location to Kingston Beach in Shoreham. Decisions can be made at short notice and your safety is our priority. Please be aware of this at the time of booking.
