3 Day Coached Wild Swimming Experience in Cornwall
Over 3 days we offer you 4 in-water coached swims in the beautiful Cornish waters.
Whether you're a new or an experienced sea swimmer we've got a trip for you - whether that's confidence building, learning new skills, coaching, technique tuning there's something for everyone.
Weather dependent (and for those who would like) we will do in-water filming for analysis.
We believe it's all about balance so alongside learning new skills or fine tuning we'll have the time to enjoy and experience the sea. Aly is always keen to enhance your swim by pointing out interesting wildlife or beautiful landscapes.
The 3 Day Coached Experience runs from end May to beginning of October. It's split into 3 different categories;
- Social swimming
- Intermediate
- Triathlon themed.
3 Day Coached Experience
Social Swimming - What Is It?
This is ideal for those new to sea swimming, a dipper who wants to learn some new skills, build their confidence at a slower pace, all while having time to look around, see and have fun!
These experiences are for the slower swimmer; if you're a head up breaststroke swimmer, slow front crawl swimmer or slow lane pool swimmer, or simply just want to take your time this is for you.
The open water swims are all designed to take the time to gain confidence whilst enjoying the sea and all it has to offer. Maybe you're a breaststroke swimmer and want to try front crawl or develop the confidence to put your face in the water, we can create a safe, enjoyment environment for you. With Aly in the water with you, and a safety craft nearby, the team is ideally placed to provide that element of safety.
Weather and group dependant we will aim to do some in-water filming so that Aly can look at your stroke and provide you with some tips and guidance to enhance your technique.
Why not add to your trip and get a fire-side chat from Aly on exciting topics such as swimming the English Channel, her RAF life; ski racing, bobsleigh or parachuting! Or perhaps you fancy a sports massage, or a bit of personal training - check out the extras?!
Medium/Faster-paced Swimming - What Is It?
Perfect for those who swim regularly, would like some longer sea swim experience and fun exploring the coastline. All with in-water coaching for technique advice, skills training and analysis.
Maybe you're training for a swim race or event or a triathlon then our 3 Day Experience could be a great way to prepare you.
Ideal for those who swim with a pace of about 2 1/2mins per 100m or 20-25mins per km, middle lane pool swimmers.
Our aim, like all of our experiences, is for you to have the opportunity to learn some new skills but have the time to look around and enjoy this fabulous environment, whether that's watching a seal; swimming round the rocks to see the wildlife; or just enjoying the sun on your face. It's all about balance!
Why not add to your trip and book a sports massage to sort out those aches or perhaps a stretch and relax session - check out the extras!
Triathlon & Swim/Run Themed - What Is It?
Not only for triathletes, but 3 days with a tri or swim/run flavour; allowing you to develop your skills. We'll look at improving swim technique and, dependant upon the group needs/wants, we can practice some more triathlon geared skills such as deep water/beach starts, buoy turns, sighting, drafting & transitions etc. There will also be opportunities for combinations of swim, bike and runs in the beautiful Roseland AONB countryside.
Maybe you're training for your first triathlon with a sea swim and want to practice swimming in a wetsuit and in salt water (this really does affect your bouyancy!) this is for you.
To practice transitions we can have your bikes and kit pre-positioned for exits straight out of the water, or on land to practice those vital skills. Having trained for her Ironman in Gorran Haven Aly can recommend some great swims, cycling and running routes that will keep you interested in the beautiful Cornish countryside.
Why not add to your trip and get a fire-side chat from Aly on her Ironman experience or advice on nutrition. Or perhaps book a sports massage - check out the extras!
