What's your swimming schedule over the festive period? While we love fun, thrilling cold water dips, we also enjoy taking some time away from the Christmas chaos to find peace in the pool.
When we head to the pool, we often thinking about fitness and technique. But, for outdoor swimmers, being 'swim fit' means going well beyond the physical. Time in the swimming pool is also a great opportunity to reflect on the year gone by, and focus on how you can holistically improve your swimming for the next open water season.
Our 4-part video course will help you bring a new 'swim fit' mindset to the pool this winter. In less time than it takes to watch Die Hard (again), you can learn the skills you need to take your swimming to the next level and transform your performance in open water for the season ahead.
As a Christmas treat, we're offering £5 off if you buy the course for yourself or gift it using the code Xmas25. Offer expires December 31st.
