Tri Specify also caters to those athletes who would like to improve their open water swimming. After all, this is where the racing is done.

In a specially designed open water swim session in Port Phillip Bay, we will show you the fundamental skills needed to swim faster in open water.

This is a great way for those athletes who don’t feel comfortable swimming in open water but would like to learn how to approach the sometimes daunting prospect of a Triathlon Swim.

Important skills that are covered in these sessions are:

• An introduction to swimming in open water
• Dangers of open water swimming
• Entering and exiting the water
• Swimming in large groups
• Turning buoys
• Sighting
• Tactics
• Preparing for transition (removing wetsuit etc)

NB: Coloured Swimming Caps are compulsory for every athlete
