| Fearless Swimming Open Water Package: This series of one-on-one lessons is for triathletes and swimmers that want to improve their open water swimming skills and confidence. It combines the best of the Total Immersion swimming techniques with the tools and skills that will help you swim more happily in open water. You will swim in the pool, open flat water and in the ocean with surf. Part 1: Dry Land and Pool Work You will start with dry land work, learning about posture, breathing, hand position and ways to keep yourself calm. Once in the pool Ingrid will take you through the best of the Total Immersion drills to improve your efficiency in the water. You will work with some navigation tools and begin the process of getting used to swimming with impaired vision (like you will do in open water which is usually murky). Part 2: Flat Open Water You will learn to apply the skills you learned in the pool to the open water environment. Ingrid will teach you about habituation, cold water shock and other physiological reactions you can expect and of course, how to manage those reactions effectively. You will get extensive practice with navigation and calming strategies. When you are comfortable in flat open water, you will be ready to tackle the ocean. Part 3: Ocean Swim in the Surf The ocean is the most fun and challenging environment to race in. Ingrid will teach you how to judge the surf conditions so you can enter and exit the water safely and quickly. You will also learn about riptides, currents, various beach hazards and how to handle them. You will learn to the rudiments of wave handling including bodysurfing if you wish. Ingrid will swim with you out to the buoy offshore to give you a taste of the open water swim experience. Equipment: Wetsuit, goggles and cap if your hair is long. |
