Our Private Watermanship Coaching sessions are set up to allow keen watermen and women the opportunity to fine-tune specific skills and learn at their own pace.

 

Course Overview

Private Watermanship Coaching sessions allow students the chance to train and improve at their own pace. These sessions are for all levels of watermen and waterwomen - in fact, we especially encourage beginner-level students to undertake on of these low-stress private courses.

Bring us your "work ons" and we'll help you every way we can to set - and achieve - your goals! 

Each private coaching session is deeply contextualised to individual student needs and goals, including highly-specialised training programmes and realistic practical settings. 

Students also have the option to book a package of multiple lessons, during which we can set medium-term goals to work through systematically.

Depending on the discipline and student requirements, practical training may cover areas such as:

• Apnea

• Depth Training

• High Heart Rate situations

• Hold Down Techniques

• Advanced Swimming Techniques

• Discipline-specific Training Principals

• Sea Survival
