Open Water Sea Swimming for Beginners a HUGE Success

Published:

On Tuesday 4th September we ventured to the North Yorkshire Coast to a little place called Boggle Hole.

Can you spot the seal?

Teaming up with the National Trust and YHA Boggle Hole we were able to work out the local tide times to host the Regions first ever Open Water Sea Swimming for Beginners and even the local seals came out to join us.

Participants started with a classroom-based introduction to discuss fears, phobia’s and what they would like to achieve before heading out into the sea to begin their coaching activity with Coach Morgan (Blue Lagooners), Lisa (York Tri Club) and Heather (Kingfishers).

Peta the YHA Boggle Hole Manager said “We were absolutely delighted to have you here and to have so many keen swimmers was fantastic. I arranged them seals to make an appearance for you, bribed them with a few fish! We are eager to hold some more events next year so can’t wait to get planning. A huge thank you to everyone involved.”

One participant commented “What an amazing experience, it was something I never have had the chance or nerves to do before.  You think it’s for young people and to be able to do this in later life gives such a boost and makes me want to do more things. Thank you.”

Over the winter we will be working with YHA Boggle Hole and The National Trust to plan more of these sessions for 2019.  Watch this space.
