Designed with the improving Triathlete in mind. Please note these are not teaching/learn-to-swim nights - you will be expected to be able to swim 400m to make full use of these sessions. The focus will be on openwater skills and race specific skills with qualified coaches lakeside giving tips and advice on technique as necessary. For someone learning to swim you will not receive the attention you need at this session and we recommend one of the other teaching sessions we run.
