From spring to autumn, join my open water swim sessions at Lochore Meadows — only 45 minutes from Central Edinburgh - perfect for building confidence, improving technique, and enjoying the freedom of outdoor swimming in a supportive setting.
1-1 Open Water Swim Coaching
Tailored private sessions are also available and arranged around your schedule. These are ideal if you’re new to open water swimming; you feel nervous about joining a group; you struggle with breathing or technique or you want to prepare for a long-distance swim or event
You’ll be fully supported — I’ll be in the water with you or alongside in my kayak for longer swims. You set the pace, and I’ll guide you every stroke of the way. 1-1 coaching sessions are £60 each (increased on 1/1/26).
Group Open Water Sessions - Tuesdays + Sundays:🟡
I run three different group sessions.
Round the Island Group – approx. 1400m, a relaxed yet challenging group swim.💧
Yellow Buoy Group – swim approx. 600m, ideal for building endurance and technique.🌴
Confidence Group – stay closer to shore, swim as much (or as little) as you like in shallow water — perfect if you're new or nervous (Sunday only).
Sessions are usually £20 per person. Timings and costs may vary based on numbers — get in touch for full details.
