🏊OPEN WATER SWIM SESSION🏊

Some of our members enjoyed a sunny day out taking part in a coached open water swim session run by Swim Matters at Salford Quays.

The session focused on developing key open water skills, including sighting, getting comfortable swimming in close proximity to others through fun partner drills such as high fives, and practising drafting techniques.

It was an enjoyable and valuable session for everyone who attended, with plenty of new open water skills to take forward into the race season.
