Our most popular groups are the Challenge Yourself classes at 8am Saturdays and and the 9am Swim around the Yellow Poles group ($20 or just $10 for Melbourne Open Water Swimming Club members).

In the Challenge Yourself group you will learn:

breathing for open water swimming,

sighting,

efficient freestyle stroking,

high body position,

and how to swim straight

in a small group (max 10) all in waist deep water at Williamstown Beach.

In the 9am Swim around the Yellow Poles Group you set your own pace and distance. We set up a 700m square course and keep an eye on conditions (and you) from a rescue board out in the deep water between the yellow boating markers 200m off Williamstown Beach. You can relax and enjoy swimming in the ocean. This is a great way to start the weekend – in a friendly swim group.

We meet at the western end of Williamstown Beach, near the carpark behind the Williamstown SLSC, about 15 minutes early.

You can swim in the pool but when you get to the sea, woah! It’s a different story. You look out from the beach and there are waves, it’s choppy, you can see the wind is pushing the water into currents and you wonder how you’re going to be able to deal with that.  Don’t…
