Build open water confidence & technique in a group
Service Description
Denham Open Water Swim Fitness Sessions Build confidence. Improve technique. Get open-water ready. The Denham Group Open Water Swim Fitness sessions are designed for swimmers training for triathlons and open water events who want to feel more confident, stronger, and supported in the water. The coached open water sessions give you structure, purpose, and guidance so you’re not just swimming circuits, you’re training with intention. You’ll build your open water fitness gradually while learning practical skills that make the transition from pool to lake smooth and enjoyable. I offer you tips and advice to help you achieve your open water goals safely and confidently. Training in a group makes you work harder. It’s motivating, supportive, and way more fun. There will be laughs, encouragement, and shared wins along the way. I promise!!! Who is it for? The sessions are ideal for beginner to intermediate swimmers who: • Can comfortably swim 200m • Are confident treading water • Want to build towards 1km or more in open water • Are new to open water or looking to improve confidence and technique Session Structure Each session is structured and coached, including: • Warm-up with a focus on breathing and relaxation • Technique drills to improve efficiency • Stamina and endurance building • Pacing strategies • Open water and race-specific skills (sighting, close proximity swimming, drafting, mini mass starts) I’ll be coaching from a paddle board, so you’re always supported and there’s also the opportunity to film your stroke in the lake for personalised feedback. Come and train with purpose, build confidence, and enjoy the buzz of swimming with others in open water. The £8.00 lake entry has been included in the price. NB: Please make sure you are ready to start promptly at 8.30am. I reserve the right to postpone a session if we have only 3 participants or less per coach. YOU MUST HAVE SWAM IN THE OPEN WATER, THIS IS NOT AN INTRO TO OPEN WATER. If you are unsure about the session, please email so I can guide you: Heather.schelhase@gmail.com
