Sea Swimming Familiarisation

Service Description

What are the differences between pool or lake swimming and the sea? We will look at how you can adapt to sea swimming in preparation for Ultra 33.3 events in particular, but the rules apply to all long-distance sea swimming events. We will cover topics such as sighting, salt mouth, buoyancy & pacing, along with how to actually swim in bigger conditions, whether it's swell from the side or wind chop coming straight at you. We will talk through any fears or worries, including marine life, toilet issues and sea sickness and of course we will get you in the sea to practice.
