Our open water clinics and pool clinics will resume in the fall. If you would like to be notified when we open registration for upcoming clinics, please contact us!
Our open water swim clinics are tailored to beginning to intermediate open water swimmers and triathletes seeking skill improvement. Our clinics offer informative lectures and in-water drills/group lessons to refine your knowledge and abilities. Gain practical guidance and essential insights for a successful open water swimming in our San Francisco Bay clinics in Sausalito, near the Golden Gate Bridge.
Key Open Water Skills…
- What to know before entering the water
- Sighting/navigation, breathing, and stroke techniques for open water
- Race tips from entrance, exits, pacing, and buoy turns
- …and much more!
Over the 2-1/2 hours, our experienced coaches will teach you the fundamental techniques, safety precautions, and post-swim warm-up necessities that every open water swimmer should know.
