ETA Coach Open Water Swim Clinics are designed to help beginner to advanced swimmers become more comfortable in the open water. We do this by practicing skills that will help each swimmer offset anxiety and navigate swim courses more effectively, resulting in safer and faster open water swimming!

The skills we focus on include: • Dealing with anxiety • Triathlon swim starts • Sighting techniques • Swimming in a straight line • Breathing techniques • Swimming with a crowd • Drafting techniques • Swimming around buoys effectively • Triathlon swim exits • Swimming in a wetsuit • Fast wetsuit removal

Each swim clinic will last 70-90 minutes and will be limited to 10 participants to ensure that individual attention is given to each swimmer.

You do not need to be a client of ETA Coach or any other organization to swim in the lake. We welcome all clubs and other coaching services. You are not required to be a member of YMCA Camp Ockanickon to swim in the lake; we are insured by USA Triathlon. For insurance purposes, you will need to be a member of USA Triathlon- if you are not a member, you can purchase a one-day USAT membership in person at the lake ($15).
