Swim Coaching:

 

These sessions are currently available as lake based sessions only, though we hope to be back in a pool somewhere locally come the autumn! Lake based sessions take place between May and September assuming the water is sufficiently warm to make them possible without everyone turning blue! Depending on Lake opening hours, we hope to run some Winter Season sessions from Autumn 2023
