Open Water Training

Open water training refers to practicing swimming and water safety skills in natural bodies of water like lakes, rivers, or the ocean, rather than a pool. It helps swimmers become comfortable with various water conditions, currents, and waves, which are unpredictable compared to a pool. This training builds confidence, improves navigation skills, and prepares swimmers for open water competitions or outdoor adventures. It also emphasizes safety, such as understanding weather and water conditions, and knowing how to handle emergencies in a natural aquatic environment.
