New to Open Water Swimming?
For first timers we recommend a guided swim to help familiarise yourself with the
new environment and build your confidence.
We also offer both group and individual coaching with our own coaches, or with
Richard Stannard, World Champion (pictured).
Guided Swims
Swimming in open water is very
different to swimming in a pool, by booking a guided swim, you ensure your first
experience of open water swimming is safe, reassuring and builds confidence.
Guided swims are for up to 30mins duration and can be organised individually or
in small groups.

Individual or Group Coaching
TriSport Coaching have teamed up with Richard Stannard (Ten-time winner of the
swim leg of the London Triathlon and Double World Aquathlon Champion) to provide
clients with Individual or group coaching sessions at the two lakes in the South
East. TriSport have been
working very closely with Richard in order to assimilate his knowledge in what
is generally accepted to be the most difficult element of a triathlon.
Swimming
in open water requires a completely different skill set than swimming in the
confines of a pool. Individual Coaching Sessions provide you with these skills;
ensuring that when you compete in open water you feel safe, strong, effective
and successful.
Depending on your needs, Richard and the team of coaches from
Trisport can coach you one-to-one or in group sessions, and can cover topics from
wetsuit and goggle fit to starts, sighting, turns and transitions.
Richard is able to offer invaluable advice and guidance based upon his own skills
and wealth of experience in beating the best triathlon open water swimmers in
the world. You will need the following equipment:
- Swimsuit, goggles and swim hat
- Wetsuit
- A swim band / old inner tube
- Hand paddles or swim gloves if you have them
- Completed Indemnity Form
