Helping pool swimmers prepare themselves for their journey into open water.
Pool to pond is a RLSS UK product helping pool swimmers prepare themselves for their journey into open water. As more and more people seek the opportunity to try open water there is a growing need for a guided pathway ensuring swimmers acquire basic information, develop skills and fitness required to keep them safe.
Who is Pool to Pond aimed at?
The programme targets regular swimmers who are thinking about trying open water for the first time; they might be nervous, they might need information about equipment, they might simply need answers to a few relatively simple questions.
