Helping you on your journey to sea swim with confidence
Description
This progressive series will be for those who already dip or swim in the sea, and who can already swim 1km ( that’s 40 lengths of the swimming pool) comfortably but want to increase their swimming distance to 2km for an event or for swim fitness.
Sessions are planned to assisst with increasing the distance swum each session over the series of swims. Typical Swims include a warm up, a short focus on technique, a swimming “set” to improve fitness /endurance/speed and ended with a swim down.
Swim distance increases are best achieved by swimming 3 times weekly, so swimmers are encouraged to swim an additional twice a week in addition to this session to maximise their ability to achieve a final distance of 2km.
The distances are approximate and are based on time swimming and speed.
