Please join Brite Coaching for a summer of Open Water Swim Training designed for both triathletes and fitness enthusiasts to improve and hone their open water swim skills.

Brite Coaching is offering a 10-week program to swimmers with the ability to swim 100-meters non stop in a pool. Wetsuits, Cap & Goggles are mandatory. Swim workouts will take place at Jericho Beach, Vancouver, BC. Each session will offer technical skill development coupled with specific OW workout formats to ensure each athlete is getting both swim fit and OW swim savvy. Coaches will either be on paddle boards or in the water with you to help you navigate, sight, balance and develop the swimmer in you that has always been there :)

Coached by: Head Coach and Founder of Brite Coaching, Christine Fletcher and Co-Pilot, Britni Bakk. Guest swim experts will join us periodically throughout the summer to go deep into stroke analysis, sighting and proficiency in the open water.
