The Saturday Morning “Heads-Down-Front-Crawl” Course you’ve been waiting for!

5 x Saturday morning course starting 31 May 2025

Join me to learn the basics of heads down front crawl. We’ll meet Saturday mornings from 9 – 10am at Coryton (Dawlish) just a small group, and we’ll develop the skills together. 

This is suitable for beginners, but you need to be able to swim 100m unaided, and it’s best if you’re already acclimatised to cold water. 

Come along, swim in company and grow your confidence. 

There’s no time like right now! 

Get more knowledgable and confident as we go through the elements of swimming efficiently in the sea.  Each week we’ll learn new skills, talking on the land, before we swim together. 

My style of coaching is relaxed and un-pressured. We’ll talk about the science and then practise in the sea, encouraging each other on, and above all feeling the joy of swimming. 

If you’ve been watching those other swimmers, swimming confidently and beautifully and you want to be one of those – here you go. 

The sea temperature will be starting to warm up in May/June, thought still chilly, this will get you swimming for the season ahead. A full season to swim.  

Time in the water will depend on how you’re feeling. No pressure. Ask me if you aren’t sure.  

Saturday 31 May

9am – 10am at Coryton Cove, Dawlish.

£75 for the 5 session course. 

It’s preferable if you do all 5 sessions – in consecutive order – but if you can’t drop me a line.
