Open Water Swim Coaching

at WeirWood Reservoir

I am an experienced STA Level 2 Open Water Swim Coach and have offered coaching sessions and courses at WeirWood Reservoir (RH18 5HT) since 2017. I have introduced new and nervous swimmers to the delights and challenges of open water swimming, as well as worked with adult and junior triathletes on their open water skills and front crawl technique. From May to September, I offer 1-2-1 and group coaching sessions on Saturday mornings (8am-10am) and Thursday afternoons (4pm-8pm). Please see the sessions I offer below and email me if you would like to book a session. Once we have agreed a date and time for your coached swim session, all swimmers have to book a swim slot with PTP Coaching who run the swim sessions at WeirWood: https://www.ptpcoaching.co.uk/wwr-bookings.
