Sea Swim Club - Wednesdays 1-2pm
Join me in the sea.
If you need a bit of extra support or advice, this is for you. Come and get more knowledgable and confident. We'll spend some time coaching on the land as well as in the sea. We'll talk about technique, safety, efficient swimming and cold water therapy and self management.
For new as well as more experienced swimmers or dippers but you must be acclimatised to the cold water now we are in to the winter season proper! Ask me if you aren't sure.
Coryton Cove, Dawlish. There is parking on Marine Parade, then walk down to the beach, I'll meet you on the slip way on the beach.
You'll need:
- Swimming costume or wetsuit if you prefer
- Brightly coloured swim hat
- Water shoes/booties
- Tow float
- Towel and warm clothes to change in to after (loose is easiest)
- A warm coat and a hat/gloves (you'll get colder than you think!)
- A warm drink and maybe something sweet to eat
- A bag to carry your wet stuff home!
If you haven't got any of the items let me know, I have spares of most things.
You'll need to complete a pre-swim form and you must be able to swim 200m unaided (the sea is not the best place to learn to swim!)
This is a small group of only 6, perfectly formed. Tickets are £10 each.
This session is led by Karen Marshall, STA Level 2 Open Water Swim Coach & Surf Life Saving GB Open Water Rescuer.
NB - if the weather is dreadful, sea conditions aren't safe or if there has been a pollution warning we may have to either postpone or change beach. If this happens I will send you a text message.
