"I used to swim dozens of seconds per 100 slower in open water than the pool, because I didn't understand how to pace effectively or deal with the chaos of other swimmers. In my last race I finally swam the paces I was used to seeing in the pool." — Scott G.

ABOUT US

We want you to have your best swim in 2025

Open water swimming is an intimidating subject for most triathletes, even professionals! At our open water clinic you will learn the skills necessary to feel calmer and more prepared for your next triathlon or open water swim event, since preparation feeds confidence, which leads to performance. You will leave the clinic feeling much more prepared for your next race.

Campfire Endurance has long been dedicated to improving athletes' results AND their quality of life. We believe that through excellent instruction, abundant expertise, and effective education the athletes we work with will see the results that they are craving. Open water swimming rewards deliberate practice, and we'll send you home with the tools necessary to thrive in the open water this season.

WHAT WE WILL COVER:

LEARN TO WARM UP

Warming up is crucial for open water success, but often you're not allowed in before the start—we'll show you how to warm up on dry land before your race.

NAVIGATE EFFECTIVELY

If you don't know where you are going, you will needlessly add distance and time to your swim. We will teach you how to stay on course.

DEAL WITH CONTACT

Swimming among others is very different from swimming in a pool lane all by yourself. We will teach you that it's not as bad as it seems!

DRAFTING WORKS

Many swimmers avoid drafting because they are intimidated about contact. Don't surrender this important way to gain FREE SPEED.
