SWIM PROGRAM
This two-part program is the ideal introduction to ocean swimming at a beach location. Overcome the anxieties and uncertainties you have about the ocean by becoming an educated and confident swimmer.
During SWIM PROGRAM 1 you will learn the fundamentals of how to read conditions at any coastal location with Phil discussing in detail the elements of wind, swell, tides, seafloor and waves. This 30-minute discussion leads into the exciting 90-minute practical part of the session where Phil guides you through the essential skills of diving, how to navigate through the break and back to shore, adjusting your stroke, sighting, and the highlight for past participants, body surfing.
SWIM PROGRAM 2 is an opportunity to consolidate your recently developed skills and knowledge and apply them in a practical sense. Part 1 ideally prepares an individual both mentally and physically, for the lifesaving skill of what to do when caught in a rip. With Phil’s guidance in the second program, you will navigate and deliberately swim in and out of a rip. This process is repeated throughout the session.
