Get race-ready for your open water swim event

Build efficiency, endurance & confidence with personalised training for any open water distance.

Racing in open water is a blend of adventure, challenge & pure exhilaration. It’s easy to get hooked - stepping up distances or chasing faster paces as you go.

But let’s face it - open water swimming is a whole different ball game to the pool. It’s physically & mentally demanding, with unpredictable conditions that can throw even experienced swimmers off course.

Enter… Catch’s open water event swim plans.

Catch’s open water event plans focus on what matters most: rock-solid technique, open water skills, endurance, pacing & race-day strategies. You’ll build efficient front crawl foundations, be conditioned for tougher swims & prepare for whatever race day throws your way.

We’ll help you stay cool as a cucumber on race day, with smoother technique, stronger swim fitness & a plan that adapts as you go.
