Ocean Swim Clinics

Every summer we run two ocean swim clinics on behalf of the State Ocean Swim Series. These are usually held just prior to the Corsair Classic and are targeted towards swimmers who are new to ocean swimming or swimmers who want to gain more experience with ocean swimming and learn new skills.

Details of our 2012 Ocean Swim Clinics are below. This year with the Ocean Swim Series shifting to Akaroa for La Grande Swim on February 19th we have decided to split our two clinics between Pegasus Town and Corsair Bay.  The first clinic at Pegasus town will be an introductory clinic for those swimmers who have been training in the pool and are looking for an introduction to the open water.  This will be followed a week later with a slightly more advanced clinic which will be held at Corsair Bay.
