Outdoor Swimming Coaching

Outdoor swim coaching is available on a one to one, two to one and small group basis. Suitable for complete beginners through to experienced outdoor swimming enthusiasts. Sessions are usually delivered near Buxton though locations further afield can be explored if you have somewhere in mind. Please note that, at present, I don’t run group sessions for individuals to book onto but if you have a group of friends who’d like to learn or experience something together I’m happy to accommodate up to 6 individuals for coaching depending on the session and location.

  • Introduction to Outdoor and Winter Swimming

    A session designed for anyone brand new to outdoor swimming or who’s been swimming outdoors for a while but would like to build on their knowledge, particularly if planning to swim through winter. Sessions are always designed to the individual’s needs but common themes include: how to stay safe; outdoor swimming techniques; equipment and; access. Sessions last around 90 minutes and can be delivered on a one to one, two to one and small group basis. Prices start from £70 with some kit included.

  • Outdoor Swim Coaching

    Planning to take part in your first open water swim event or triathlon? Looking to improve your swim technique outdoors? Want to improve your stamina and fitness? This is the session for you. We can work on whatever you need from how to deal with your first mass start to swimming a longer distance than you’re used to. I cover all swim strokes, though front crawl technique and transition from pool to open water swimming are common themes to these sessions. In the summer months we can cover anything you might learn in the pool too. So if you’re looking to just build water confidence and learn to swim but would like to avoid the pool let me know and I can get you in. Prices from £50.

  • Wild Swimming Workshops

    Wild Swimming Workshops.

    Beginner workshops designed for those completely new to wild swimming as well as those looking to expand their knowledge and swim beyond their current boundaries.

    Winter workshops specifically designed for anyone looking to swim through their first winter or learning to expand their cold water swim journey.

“I had a one to one winter swimming session with Suzie yesterday and it was one of my best ever Sunday mornings. Suzie is great fun and is extremely knowledgeable about open water swimming. Suzie was clearly my teacher but it just like spending a couple of hours with a friend. She helped me to feel confident in the water, talking me through everything we did, and giving clear explanations. I can’t wait to go swimming again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Suzie to anyone wanting to give wild swimming a whirl. Her enthusiasm is infectious! Great flapjack snacks too!” Alex, new outdoor swimmer
