Boost your open water skills now to swim faster in 2026
Dear Swimmer
🏊♀️Swim Further and Faster in Open Water - Video Course🏊♀️
Do you ever feel that you are not reaching your full potential in open water?
How far and fast you swim in open water is determined by a wide range of factors, including:
Your underlying swimming technique
How well you can adapt your swimming to open water conditions
Your ability to sight efficiently and navigate skilfully
How prepared you are for cooler water temperatures - even if you wear a wetsuit
Your pace judgement and ability to control your speed
Your confidence and skills in
swimming close to other swimmers
Your overall strength and fitness
How effectively you train
Many swimmers obsess about their swimming technique - and this is important - but they overlook how much they could benefit from improving those other skills. Master those, and you could well beat people in open water who are faster than you in the pool, as we have seen and experienced on many occasions.
New video course
Swim Further and Faster in Open Water is a course Outdoor Swimmer founder Simon Griffiths first ran live over Zoom. Simon has now created a recorded version covering
the principles and fundamental skills you need to swim more efficiently in open water.
The course consists of 4 videos, each between 30 and 40 minutes long, along with recommended extra reading and exercises for you to try in the pool or open water.
Following the course will give you a solid foundation in the principles you need to take your open water swimming to the next level. It is aimed at beginner to intermediate outdoor swimmers looking to boost their speed and endurance for open water events and challenges. It is also suitable for triathletes.
