Catch is Level Water’s Official Training Partner

By Rebecca Wetten, Co-Founder & Head Coach at Catch

If you’re swimming one of Level Water’s river events this year, your training just got smarter.

Catch has partnered with Level Water to give you a clear, structured pathway to feel strong, efficient & ready to enjoy every moment on event day.

Because training for a river swim isn’t just about logging miles.

It’s about:

- Swimming with better technique

- Building confidence in open water

- Handling sighting, crowds & conditions

- Arriving on the start line calm & prepared

With Catch, you don’t just train harder. You train smarter.

Why structured training matters for river swims

River swims are unique.

Currents shift. Conditions vary. Packs form. Pacing matters.

The swimmers who enjoy the day most are usually the ones who:

- Feel efficient in their front crawl

- Know how to sight without losing rhythm

- Have practised in open water before

- Have followed a structured training plan

That’s exactly what Catch provides.
