Open Water Swimming
Coached open water swim sessions are restarting in spring 2022. These sessions are normally 30-60mins. Note - these sessions are weather dependent, please check on the club’s swim WhatsApp group and Facebook for last-minute updates.
Meeting points may vary from session to session, we will update you once we have more details.
In line with the current England COVID19 guidelines, the Coached sessions will have a maximum of 5 swimmers per coach, these groups will be based on confidence and abilities, led by a coach or experienced open water swimmer. Brighton Surf Life rescue will be on the water to provide safety cover. There will be a session plan which may focus on open water swimming techniques, such as mass starts, drafting, sighting, turning around buoys, swimming in a pack, dealing with waves, or may just concentrate on swim fitness. However, weather, tides and the requirements of individual swimmers means the swim plan is always adaptable.
Coached sessions are wetsuit compulsory. However, the Lead Coach may let you swim without a wetsuit if the conditions are suitable and it is safe for both you and other swimmers to do so. But it is at their discretion.
Non-coached sessions are informal groups of club members getting in the sea to swim together, the hardier members of the club continue these all year round.
We recommend cycling to these locations, please bring a bike lock. There is parking on the seafront, adjacent streets and a car park five minutes walk away at Regency Square Car Park, Brighton BN1 2GG, there is no free parking in this area. Madeira drive is currently closed to cars.
Swim Blocks - Swim blocks are available for either our Tuesday or Thursday swim sessions, plus a block that combines both.
How to buy Blocks
To buy the blocks you'll need to be logged in to your Clubs membership account, this uses the email and password that you set up when you joined the club. Can't remember which email you used? It's the one where you receive all your club emails, newsletters etc. If you need to you can reset your password.
The current swim blocks are available HERE.
Why buy a block?
Buying Swim Blocks saves you money compared with the on the door price and reduces the coaches time and effort. The Tues or Thurs block works out at only £4 per session, compared to the 'on-the-door' £5. You save even more by buying a Tues and Thurs combined block, at £3.80 a session.
Paying for your swimming in advance gives you additional motivation to get out there and swim!
There are a limited number of swim blocks to purchase for each of the Tuesday and Thursday sessions and members with blocks are given priority access to the pool, while those paying on the door will be let in on a first come, first served basis up to the maximum capacity. Secure your place by buying the block!
