Hello!!! Welcome to Open Water Swim Coaching in Fife!
Hello. I'm James. I'm an outdoor swim coach based in Fife, Scotland.
I run open-water coaching sessions at Lochore Meadows and Silversands beach at Aberdour all year round (mostly).
I help swimmers of all abilities from newbies, improvers, nervous swimmers, distance athletes and social dippers.
If you've got a question email me on james@roundtheislandswimcoaching.co.uk or scroll down.
SWIM SESSIONS
I run open water group swim sessions on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings at Lochore Meadows. I have a group to suit most abilities.
On Tuesdays, there is a ' to the yellow buoy group' (swimming about 600m) for swimmers looking to increase distance and a 2km swim that goes 'round the island' twice.
On Sundays, you join the 'round the island' swim (about 1500m of swimming) or take part in the confidence group closer to the shore and in shallow water, and swim as much as you want.
Timings may vary depending on numbers, so get in touch for details. Group swims are generally £15 per person.
1-2-1 open-water sessions are available too and can be organised at a time to suit you.
These are great if you are new to open-water swimming, you are nervous about swimming in a group for your first swim outside or perhaps you struggle to breathe when swimming.
If you'd like to do a long practice swim leading up to an event, 1-2-1's are perfect. I will be in the water with you if you are nervous or worried, and for longer swims I'll be alongside you in my kayak.
PLEASE NOTE - REGULAR POOL SESSIONS ARE ON HOLD BECAUSE LOCHGELLY POOL IS CLOSED

Outdoor Swim Coaching in Fife
My sessions take place at Lochore Meadows in Fife, Scotland. With open water and pool coaching qualifications and four years of my own experiences, my goal is to help you make the most of your outdoor swimming, if you are experienced and taking on new adventures and events, or if you are new to it, introduce you safely and comfortably.
Here are the sessions I offer. Send me an email to find out more or if you have any questions.
Group Swims
Sundays + Tuesdays
This is very much a social event for folk who want to keep up their outdoor swimming throughout the winter. There are three group sessions that I run at Lochore Meadows:
1. Round the Island group will swim around 1500m in about 50 minutes;
2. Yellow buoy group swim around 700m and,
3. Confidence group will swim in the shallow part of the loch near the beach. (ideal for breaststrokers and front crawlers getting used to the cold water and building distance).
I will be in the yellow kayak providing safety cover and to spur you on. £15pp.

Personal Coaching
Time to suit you.
I can provide tailored 1-2-1 swim coaching to meet your needs, whether that's in the pool or outdoors.
If you want an introduction to cold water swimming, regular cold immersion dips, or improving your swimming technique, I can help.
The water is refreshingly cold at this time of year and swimming in it can be a challenge. But it is also very rewarding and can be extremely beneficial for your mental and physical health.
Individual Session - £45

Pool Sessions
ON HOLD
I run weekly coaching sessions on Tuesday and Friday evenings at Lochgelly High School Pool. Group sessions last an hour and you will be grouped in a lane of 4 swimmers of similar ability to you. Sessions will focus on improving technique to help with your open-water swimming, helping you to develop endurance and speed in the water.
The group sessions are available in blocks of 4 consecutive weekly sessions throughout the winter.
The cost is £52 for a block of 4 one hour group sessions (ad hoc sessions are £15 each).
I also have 1-1 sessions available but these vary in price according to the duration - email me to find out more.
Send me an email if you're keen or interested.

Join a group of swimmers for a fabulous day out in the Trossachs to swim at the beautiful Loch Chon or Loch Drunkie, two of the best outdoor swims in Scotland.
Swims will be guided + coached with post-swim cakes provided.
