Are you...
? Curious about swimming outdoors?
? Wondering what all the hype is about?
⚠️ Keen to learn how to do it safely?
✔ Looking to build your confidence and competence?
In this 2.5 hour session we will cover subjects such as..
*The wonders of swimming outdoors
*Potential hazards and how to mitigate them
*Cold water shock, swim incapacitation, hypothermia, afterdrop
*Conducting your own risk assessment for sea, lochs, reservoirs and rivers
After the theory section we'll conduct our own risk assessment (not that scary!) have a short dip/swim and think about how we might deal with potentially tricky situations. we generally stay within our depth and there will be no pressure to swim for a particular length of time or distance.
After the swim you'll have the opportunity to ask questions or just have a general chat whilst getting dressed.
Homemade tablet or cake may be provided for after your swim if I've been organised enough!
I'll always ensure you're sufficiently warm enough to get yourself home safely at the end of our session.
