3. adapting stroke technique (breaststroke, front crawl or even butterfly) to optimise swimming in a wetsuit
4. improving open water skills such as sighting and turning
5. preparing for triathlon and open water events/races
6. discovering the joys of swimming outdoors
7. introducing the whole family to enjoying open water swimming together
