Last weekend we tried something new; supporting a group of people who are preparing to swim across English Channel! This great challenge cannot be undertaken without a proper preparation prior. Those who wish to achieve such probably should check Channel Swimming Association website first for some details. We were working with Chris, from Swim4miles, who is a well experienced coach. It was a second time this type of boot camp took place.
Loch Lomond, Inchmurring Island was our base. And I tell you, that's a fantastic venue, run & owned as a family business since 1933!
Supporting swimmers, from a kayak need a little bit skill. How to feed, pas drinks, look after their and own safety (specially in rough weather), watching for other crafts flags and signals, etc.
Because of that and massive demand on safety kayaks, we will deliver half day Swim Kayak Safety Bolt On Courses. Get in touch (info@outdoorexplore.org.uk) if you would like to take part in such event or do need a safety kayaker for your swim...
Swim4miles is not only working with English Channel swimmers. They work with ANYONE who likes open water swims. So you already doing so and considering it taking up, check their website (below) for details.
