Advanced Sessions

*If the date below is not showing up green on our booking calendar and you would like this day please contact us.*

Only on your first booking a questionnaire & disclaimer will need to be completed & signed. If there are any amendments from previous sessions, Sandy Toed Sea Swimmers must be notified. If you are including additional swimmers to your booking, please 'invite' them via your confirmation email, this will send them the relevant forms to be completed beforehand.

Welcome to Sandy Toed Sea Swimmers, our advanced sessions are available to adults who can swim 400m+ comfortably and continuously front crawl in a swimming pool and have previously swum in open water. These sessions are 45 minutes and include a safety briefing on the beach beforehand as well as giving useful tips to help you enjoy your swim to the fullest.

As well as sharing our open water passion with you, these sessions will give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to continue with your own open water journey.

Please leave enough time to do your own warm-up/ cool down before and after your session.

All sessions will be held at The Boathouse, Felpham.

PLEASE NOTE, due to circumstances beyond our control we may have to change the meeting place/time on the day, please check here before your session.
