Open Water Swimming

Swimming in a triathlon can be an unpleasant experience. Your months of training become disrupted by dozens or even hundreds of other triathletes churning in the water around you, and the mental focus that was once so simple during a pleasant swim in a lane at the local swimming pool becomes almost impossible with the sudden chaos. As if that wasn't difficult enough, visibility is awful, there is no wall to push off, and the 10 degree drop in water temperature has completely taken away your breath.

But I will say, the sense of achievement afterwards is like no other! The rush you get when you finally exit the water knowing you are one third through your race and now on dry land you can really start to get going.......

OPEN WATER SWIMMING

There is no doubt that the swim discipline of a triathlon can be the most daunting to a novice triathlete.

RG Active offer the opportunity to gain some valuable open water swim training before your summer races with organized swim evenings in different swim venues in and around London.

These sessions have been running for two years and have grown in popularity with people coming back week after week and seeing their confidence grow and their swimming improve!

You will learn the basics of open water swimming from experienced triathletes, while training with others who have exactly the same worries as you. Whether you have never swum in a wetsuit, never swum in open water or both, we will be able to answer any questions demonstrate techniques and take away ALL your fears and answer ALL your questions.

For the more experienced athletes we offer specific swim sets/drills to improve your speed in the water and get your racing off to the best possible start.

What do I need for the sessions:

- A wetsuit (ideally triathlon specific but not compulsary)

- Coloured Swim Hat

- Googles

- Brave Soldier or Body Glide which are non-petroleum based lubricant to prevent chaffing. These are available for sale at the sessions.

- swim costume or tri suit (to be worn under your wetsuit, and yes people do forget which can be a problem when practicing transitions!)

- Towel for after the session, showers and changing facilities are on site

- Each session costs 10.00 GBP and is payable on the evening of each session to a member of RG Active staff.
