From the start of May and over the summer, we will be running weekly Thursday 6:15am swimrun sessions to get ready for swimruns, practice transitions, test out your equipment and keep fit.
Swimrun is a fairly new sport where you complete a pre-defined course with multiple swim and run stages without stopping in between. You run in your wetsuit and swim in your running shoes (usually lightweight!).
These sessions will help you train, test kit and practice for your next swimrun event, or simply keep fit and have fun whilst swimming and running at the beach! They will include swim elements, run elements, drills and transition practice. The sessions are aimed at being inclusive so you can work at your own effort level. You must be able to swim at least 200m non-stop and be able to run 1km non-stop.
The sessions are organised into blocks of 4 sessions for £30, alternatively you can pay as you go £10 per session. We will meet at Southbourne Beach (near Sobo Beach/Southbourne Surf Life Saving Club Hut) for the sessions. In the case of severe weather, a session may be cancelled.
Swimrun has recently come to Dorset and we want to help you enjoy it! The June Studland Swimrun event is here – use code WAVE23 on their website for 10% off the entry fee. (But you don’t have to be doing an event to take part in our sessions!)
Next steps: please book and pay using the links below and we will be in touch with further information and registration details as required.
