Open Water swimming Q&A

At The Flipper Club swim school we are all swimming teachers, and many of us are also Open Water Swimming Coaches and 100% we are all swimming enthusiasts!

Between us we have taken part in triathlons, Ironman events, English Channel relays, solo English Channel swims, Ice Mile swims, coastal relays, river swims, lake swim events and solo lake crossings. We dip in winter, we train in spring and we swim in summer. Basically we’re in the water all year round!

At swim school I get asked a lot: “how to start open water swimming”, “what events are best”, “how do you swim the Channel”, “how do you feed on long swims”, plus many other swim related questions… So, I thought it would be good to open up the chat and invite you to an Open Water question & answer session.

Plus HOW TO BE SAFE in open water. For adults and children.

This is for anyone and everyone who is interested in swimming outdoors, open water swim events, and more. Please come and chat to us!

We’ll be meeting at The Pheasant in Buckland from 7pm- 8pm on 7th June - hopefully outside under the tents if the weather holds. This is very informal without speeches etc, we’ll introduce ourselves and then you can ask away!

Let me know if you intend to come but it is just a drop-in!

Thanks, Amanda
