We also have several offers for you who are already skilled swimmers, where you have the opportunity to participate in training every day of the week. Especially on Wednesdays, there is a special focus on this group, where the coach primarily focuses on error correction etc. at this group.

OPENWATER

During the summer period, there is an Openwater trainer everySaturday from 08:30 to 10:15 at Ballehage

The open water training starts on 30/5. It is possible to change clothes out there and to have your things locked inside, as we lend a key to the clubhouse out there (currently NOT possible to access the clubhouse due to COVID).

 

When we swim OW, it is important to pay extra attention to safety. This means that we will do the following for training sessions:

​

- Require that a wetsuit be used

- Require participants to bring a colorful bathing cap (so you are easier to see)

- Everyone is divided into buddy pairs/smaller groups according to level so we keep an eye on each other (in addition to the trainers keeping an eye)

- Reviews arm signals for calls for help

- Require participants to stop training if they feel discomfort

- There is swimming close to the coast

- Feel free to swim with a monkfish

- The balance nerve is affected by cold water. Therefore, using earplugs/cotton wool in the ears can be helpful.

​

We follow the guidelines for open water swimming and safety in accordance with recommendations from the Danish Triathlon Federation and the Danish Swimming Union which can be foundhere.
