SWIMMERS WANTED!

British Triathlon are looking for some triathletes and open water swimmers to come along to be coached in the Open Water for just £5!

A number of British Triathlon coaches will be attending an open water coaching workshop to develop their Open Water coaching skills. An integral part of the workshop is the applied practical experience the coaches will get from coaching a session with a group of swimmers. This means we need you to come and swim!

• Date: 1st September 2019
• Location: Helly Hanson Water Sports Centre, Salford Quays, Salford, M50 3SQ
• Time Required: 1.45pm to 4.30pm
• Kit Required: Wetsuit, Goggles, Swim Hat, Warm/Dry Clothing

Open to all members and non-members aged 16 and above, the length of time in the water will depend on a number of factors including weather on the day and number of swimmers in each group. After the session you will be given the opportunity to provide feedback to the coaches you worked with as part of their development. There are changing facilities on site.

Important Information

This session is only appropriate for people who have had experience of swimming in open water environments. It will not be suitable to those who have never swam in open water before. As a guide we recommend that you are able to comfortably swim 200m in open water without pause. All swimmers will need to sign a Participant Disclaimer and Health Information form. This will be sent out prior to the workshop.
