Open Water Training
Our open water program is built specifically for the physical and technical demands of racing outside the pool. Sessions develop open water–specific fitness and racing skills — including pacing, sighting, drafting, and pack dynamics — through structured, progressive training. Led by expert coaches, each workout is purposeful and designed to build efficiency, confidence, and measurable performance gains.

Pre-Race Clinics
Each clinic focuses on the specific race ahead — reviewing course layout, expected conditions, start strategy, buoy turns, pacing plans, and tactical positioning. Swimmers rehearse key scenarios in a structured environment so race-day decisions feel automatic. Led by expert coaches, these sessions consolidate skills and sharpen execution to ensure athletes arrive confident and prepared.
