This is a 10 week ocean swim training program - incorporating weekly training both in the pool and the ocean as you train toward participating in the South Maroubra Ocean Swim on 27 April 2025.
After 10 weeks training you will be able to:
-
Read ocean conditions
-
Use the ocean to your advantage
-
Say "I am an ocean swimmer!"
-
Participate, as a group, in an organised ocean goal swim event
-
Achieve a goal you previously never thought possible
All ocean training sessions are supported by water safety crew from surf clubs, familiar with local conditions, close by at all times.
As a registered Australian charity, all of our programs fundraise for cancer research — it's an important part of why we do what we do.
Are you ready to ocean swim?
If you can swim freestyle for at least 200m in the pool without stopping (which is a condition of entry into this program), you’re well on your way.
You'll train twice per week under the guidance of qualified, experienced ocean swim coaches.
Pool swim sessions mid-week focus on:
-
Refreshing swim skills
-
Building base swimming fitness
-
Learning how to swim more efficiently
-
Practicing basic ocean swimming techniques
-
Drills for stroke correction
Ocean swim sessions on Saturday mornings focus on:
-
Identifying changing ocean conditions – waves, rips, tides, sandbanks, and more
-
Learning to enter and exit the water safely
-
Increasing your swim distance in the ocean under supervision
-
Learning advanced surf skills and using the ocean to your advantage
Please note that pool entry is not covered as a part of your Can Too program registration fee. My Fitness Passports cannot be used to gain entry to pools for any CanToo programs. Payment must be made at the pool upon entry.
