Long Distance Swim Plan
We will help you train for your long distance swim. This might be an English Channel Relay or a significant lake crossing (e.g. Windermere). You plan will include;
- A detailed assessment via zoom of your experience, skill level and injury history. It will involve a discussion of your goals, training areas and other support around you (clubs etc.)
- A training plan which will build your stamina and skills in the right way to help you achieve your goal.
- A mid-way progress review via zoom with your coach.

Long Distance Swim Plan Overview
This plan is suitable for anyone training for swims up-to around 6 hours in duration, it is based on a 6 month training period. Typical swims would be channel relay events and swimming across large lakes like lake Windermere and Lake Coniston. This is not suitable for a solo English channel crossing which requires a longer plan.
Long distance swimming in Open Water requires a very different training regime to pool swimming. The training volume can be considerable, but also must be balanced with the risk of aggravating existing injuries.
Training needs to include both building endurance, developing open water skills and experience, whilst also maintaining and improving swim technique.
After booking we will arrange a 1 to 1 consultation with Rich via zoom or phone. Your coach will review your experience, injury history and the time and facilities available to you for training. If you have video Rich will also review this and make recommendations for technique work. Following your review we will send your bespoke training plan in a timescale agreed with you.
