Sea Swim Lessons

    Hi,

    I am looking for a swimming teacher for my dad.

    He can already swim, but would need to improve. He wants to swim regularly down at Seapoint and was hoping we could find a qualified swimming teacher who would be happy to teach him in the sea.

    Grateful for all feedback!

    Thanks,

    Sarzo

    I would dis advise taking swimming lessons in the sea. I know that generations of swimmers learned this way but there is a few good reasons why next generations came up with a swimming pool concept. 1 safety 2 comfort would be the main ones.
    40 minutes of drills in 17C water would repel a polar bear from swimming in my opinion

    Thanks Kris,

    I know! That would be my feeling, but he is keen to get out into ocean.

    He actually can swim, so it might not actually be lessons he's after so much as a sea swimming club.

    Does anyone know if there is such a thing in Seapoint?

    Thanks,

    Sarz
