There has been a huge increase in people taking up this amazing activity of open water swimming since the first lockdown in March 2020. With pools not being as accessible, people are turning to the great outdoors to obtain their swim fix, looking for ways to learn and improve with some open water coaching. Not only is it a great way to meet people and exercise, there are so many additional benefits to both our physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Open water swimming &#8211; not only does it compliment the drug treatments for anxiety and depression, many swimmers have found with regular exposure to colder water that they have weaned themselves off their medication completely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Swimming outside gives you that feel good feeling. The cocktail of cold water and exercise releases the body\u2019s feel good hormone, dopamine. Swimming with others only intensifies this experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Stressful situations we come across in everyday life become more manageable too, also boosts your self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Open water swimming is a great calorie burner and improves your circulation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Swimming in the great outdoors boosts your immunity. Repeated exposure is reported to increase white blood cell production which means less coughs and colds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Open water swimming improves energy levels and alertness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 The cooler water temperature helps to reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Open water swimming can also help improve sleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Many peri menopausal and menopausal women find that regular swimming helps alleviate symptoms such as anxiety, hot flushes and low mood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Swimming outside in the great outdoors has so much to offer, whatever your ability. Whether you want to swim for fun and enjoyment, learn new skills with some open water coaching or some pool lessons, or compete in an event, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:75% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 >

the STA Open Water Safety Qualification, the NRASTC swim teacher rescue award, and an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification. I can also observe in IISA Events and Ice Miles as I hold a Level 1 Official Observer Exam. I am fully insured and have my own first aid kit and carry my own AED.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whether being a Pisces has anything to do with my love of the water, I am not entirely sure, but swimming, teaching swimming and open water coaching are my passions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">My love of swimming started as a child, learning to swim from the age of three. As soon as I was old enough, I joined the local Swimming Club. From here I went on to compete at County level, representing the County, becoming a County Champion, swimming at regional events, and obtaining national qualifying times. Unfortunately, illness and a shoulder injury stopped my swimming career in my teenage years. I took a few years off swimming then I re-joined my childhood club in the master\u2019s squad mainly for enjoyment and fitness, but I did compete in the odd gala.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I began swim teaching back in 2003 having changed from my career in Veterinary Nursing after starting my family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Over my many years of teaching I have taught a wide range of classes, ages, and abilities. Over the years I have mainly worked at Wycombe Leisure Centre. Teaching ages from 4 months in parent and child classes to 88 years of age in my adult classes. I teach all abilities from non-swimmers through to those that compete in galas. I have also taught many school aged children over the years including those with a variety of special educational needs. I have coached as a volunteer for Wycombe District Swimming Club too, both indoors and open water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I began swimming in open water in 2006 when a friend suggested we should enter a sea swim event for a laugh! However, my open water journey nearly ended before it had really had a chance to get going! Within the first two minutes of the sea swim, I wanted to climb out. It was all completely alien to me. If it had not been for the safety kayaker who talked me through, I would not be where I am today. 2.5km later and at the end of the sea swim I loved it. I had been converted. I had fallen in love with open water swimming in a big way. I had well and truly caught the open water bug.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In 2007 I swam a solo length of Windermere in skins and successfully completed a Channel relay for charity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the years that followed, my love for open water swimming was taken over by family commitments, but I continued swimming for leisure whenever the opportunity arose, even through the winter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In 2016 I was able to swim a little more regularly so frequently met up with friends for a swim at local lakes or rivers. I completed the Thames Marathon in skins in 2018 and finished in under 4 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">More recently I have taken part in PHISH (a cold water swimming event) I have completed one-way swims of Coniston, Ullswater and Lake Windermere. I also completed a two way Lake Windermere swim in July 2022 in preparation for my English Channel attempt in 2023. In August 2023 I am pleased to say I successfully swam across the English Channel achieving a childhood dream, so I can officially call myself a \u2018Channel Swimmer\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I passed my Swim England Open Water Coaching qualification in 2018. This now meant that not only could I teach in a pool environment but also coach in open water too. Having many years of swim teaching experience really compliments my open water coaching qualification. I am confident in working on technique across all four strokes as well as swim skills from beginners to advanced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With both my open water coaching and swim teaching qualifications, I want to help people develop a skill that can be used as a hobby, for fitness or in a more competitive situation. You do not need to be a genius in the water, I am about making this infectious sport of open water swimming all inclusive, so anything goes! My primary aim is to provide you with the core skills and framework to enjoy this sport safely and with confidence. I can help you establish your baseline, develop realistic goals, and provide you with the encouragement and enthusiasm you need to accomplish them. Whatever your personal swimming goal is, whether it is in open water or in a pool, I can provide you with some open water coaching or in pool swim teaching to assist you in achieving your ambition. This will be done in a relaxed, fun, and informative way. Swimming is a great, all round activity and the open water swimming community is fantastic, and I guarantee you will be smiling from ear to ear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Maybe you will even catch the open water bug too???<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Happy, safe swimming.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100%

Remember the air temperature in an indoor pool environment is guaranteed to be warm too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Outside the water temperature can vary immensely. In the winter inland waters can reach extremely low temperatures possibly at times reaching 0\u02daC.\u00a0 In the summer, these areas can sometimes reach temperatures in the low to mid 20\u2019s.\u00a0 The sea is not so extreme with temperatures ranging from lowish single figures in the winter to high teens in the summer months. Lakes are usually slightly warmer than rivers.\u00a0 If venturing to the sea for a swim, you must look at the tide tables and weather forecasts, gaining knowledge of the area too in advance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The air temperature and weather conditions also play a significant part when swimming in open water. No two swims are ever the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Nothing is guaranteed when swimming in open water. Every swim is different. Therefore, it is vitally important to assess all the conditions before you swim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Knowing the water temperature is one factor you must know before you enter as it will affect your time in the water and your performance.

I can honestly say this is the best thing I have done in years and I only wish I had done it sooner. I have been swimming both competitively as a teenager and for fitness and enjoyment as an adult for 40+ years. However, I have never really progressed and I&#8217;ve struggled with increasing my speed and I couldn&#8217;t work out why.<br \/>\nSue helped me realise in the very first lesson that my technique, although correct at the time of learning, was outdated and not as efficient as it could be with just a few tweaks.<br \/>\nIn that first lesson there were so many light bulb moments. I am nearing the end of the 4 week course and can feel a huge difference in my stroke. It feels more relaxed, efficient and enjoyable. I had no idea what a difference this would make to my swimming and am absolutely chuffed to bits.<br \/>\nSue&#8217;s coaching is spot on. She delivers her teaching points with precision and polish. Everything you need to know and why, broken down into manageable exercises and pulled nicely together at the end.<br \/>\nIf anyone is sitting on the fence and wondering where to turn for stroke improvement Sue Lord is the coach for you. I am almost sad the course is coming to an end.

The weekly emails are timely prompts with recaps on what was discussed during the lessons, these helped as a reminder for me to keep practising the new techniques I was learning.

I did her open water intro at Westhorpe Lake in Feb which was hugely informative &#8211; Sue is SO knowledgeable but also makes it a lot of fun &#8211; and I have just completed her 4 week beginners \/ improvers FC course at the lido. I wish Sue could teach me every week. I&#8217;ve learnt an enormous amount and have gained the confidence to enter my first open water swim event this Summer.

Unless you stay in your depth you cannot stand up.<br \/>\nSwimming pool water is much clearer, so visibility is reduced in open water too.<br \/>\nChanges in the weather, conditions, water temperature make it riskier than swimming in a pool. Conditions can change rapidly.<br \/>\nWater borne diseases are found in open water too carrying further risks.<br \/>\nRivers carry additional risks not just from other users e.g. boats. After heavy rainfall rivers are even higher risk due to the increased current\/flow along with debris and increased surface run off. It is not advisable to swim in rivers after periods of heavy rainfall. Respect boat users and fishermen.<br \/>\nThe sea needs to be respected too and knowing tide times, weather forecasts and observing where you are swimming for rip tides etc is imperative. Always ensure you are swimming in a safe area.<br \/>\nYes, risks are much higher swimming in open water than in a swimming pool. That is why it is vital to do your homework before you take part and be prepared for both before and after your swim.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"a855793939d1f1cd0\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-13-1\" data-target=\"#a855793939d1f1cd0\" href=\"#a855793939d1f1cd0\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What equipment do I need to swim in open water?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"a855793939d1f1cd0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\"><strong>Essential<\/strong> equipment for open water:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bright coloured swim hat<\/li>\n<li>Tow float (write an emergency contact number on this)<\/li>\n<li>Swimming costume<\/li>\n<li>Goggles with UV protection are advisable too if swim front crawl.<\/li>\n<li>Whistle (can be attached to your tow float)<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof sun protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Optional<\/strong>, additional equipment for open water:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wetsuit \u2013 please ensure is a wetsuit designed for swimming.
