Am I Novice or Intermediate?
This is always a tricky question but here is a rough guide to help you decide,
 
Novice
If this is your first time in open water and you want to learn the essential skills of sighting and drafting or you feel nervous and struggle to relax in the open water you may benefit from this session.
 
Intermediate
If  you feel confident in the open water and want to learn some advanced techniques to improve your open water swim this session will be perfect for you. 
 
What if I don't have an open water wetsuit?
Don't panic you can borrow one of ours, you'll be asked if you'd like to borrow one when you book, if you click yes you will then be asked you height and weight (Sorry we know it's rude to ask!) so we can size you for a suit.
