We are delighted to introduce our Swim Camp Open Water Adult Series for this season 2022.

Our sessions will be structured to include swimmers of the same skill level.
We keep our swimmer-to-coach ratio low, so we can give each of you the time and attention you deserve during every session.
We are focussing on technique and training advice for open water swimmers and triathletes with a holistic approach to maximise the swimmer’s mental, technical and physical strengths.
Our positive coaching style and instant feedback will bring you to the next level and help you to achieve your swimming goals.

Impressions from our Sea Swimming Lessons for Adults
Our goal is to provide you with a proper swimming lesson in the sea. It also means 30+ minutes in the water. We believe that it is imperative for you to develop confidence and learn the essential swimming skills in order to be able to fully enjoy the open water. These skills include breath control, body positioning, timing, and many others. In May, the Irish Sea is a bit warmer, so our sessions will be more enjoyable.
Currently our Open Water Swimming lessons will be held at the following locations: Seapoint Beach, Co.Dublin, Killiney Beach, Co.Dublin, Contarf Baths, Co.Dublin. Please check event description for meeting points.
First things first: You should be able to float and tread water. If you are unsure of which event to attend, we recommend registering for one of our beginner sessions. We are delighted to welcome you and determine which level is appropriate for you. Alternatively, you can use our contact form or Whatsapp us. Let’s talk.
Many people have this fear when they are swimming in the open sea, and we are here to help you overcome it. A great way is to learn how to swim and practice in a pool before venturing into the sea.
All of our swimming sessions take place in a safe and supportive environment. In order to provide a realistic swimming experience, we place our own buoys in the water.
A Wetsuits (of any type), silicone swim hats, goggles, and a swim tow float. During the month of May, we strongly recommend wearing a wetsuit. If you’re used to swimming without a wetsuit all year round, you’ll be fine.
