Open water clinic

Learn to play in the swell and wind

During the Open Water Clinic we will teach you what it's like to swim in open water. No pushing off or turnarounds, dark water and no line on the bottom. But you will have swells from the wind and the sun in your face. 

The expert trainers from Zwemanalyse will teach you the tricks of the trade and give you tips and the confidence to continue training in open water on your own.
