Do you have to swim in open water?
No! We are an open water school and advocate safety at all times. If you are an experienced open water swimmer then please feel free to complete your challenges in your preferred, familiar open water venue. For beginner open water swimmers please use a swimming pool, sea pool or other lifeguarded venue for your challenge swims. You could also join in with our escorted swims which are in open water, timed over the challenge distance and include full safety cover. These sessions are running throughout the challenge series from Westward Ho beach in North Devon. You can book these sessions on our booking system:
