Description
We are delighted to share that OxfordTri’s Open Water Familiarisation Sessions will be returning in May 2024!
For over 10 years our fully qualified coaches have helped 100s of athletes develop their confidence in open water, helping them see the swim leg in a triathlon as an experience to look forward to rather than dread.
Located at the Queenford Lake just south of Oxford, these sessions are designed for anyone who can confidently swim in a pool. Whether you’re new to swimming in open water, felt overwhelmed in the past, or are looking to refine your skills with expert guidance – this is the place for you!
Over the four weeks our sessions will include focusing on helping you acclimatize to the water, mastering breathing techniques, and becoming comfortable with having your face in the water. Our goal is to have you feel more confident swimming in open water and equipped with the skills to conquer the triathlon swim leg or simply enjoy more open water swimming.
We run the session in small groups with multiple coaches and experienced swimmers in the water with you so athletes can progress at the right pace for them.
We hope to make your experience fun and social and would love you to join us after at the Wandering kitchen for a warming coffee and bacon roll or cake post swim!
Sign up early as these sessions are hugely popular and last year completely sold out.
