Step into the world of world-class coaching and open-water expertise at our inaugural Coach the Coaches Professional Development session.

This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from Olympic open water swimmer Kyle Lee, whose international experience and dedication to the craft will inspire and broaden your perspective on training for open-water success. Alongside him, our own Andrew Sexton, an Advanced Level ASCTA-accredited coach with years of experience developing swimmers in the South-West, will share practical insights tailored to the realities of coaching open water swimmers. Julie O’Connor, Senior Coach, will lead an endurance training physiology – short session.

Together, Kyle, Andrew and Julie will deliver a dynamic, hands-on clinic designed to provide coaches with fresh tools, drills, and strategies for supporting swimmers in surf and open-water environments.
