Join our Cape Town Open Water Swim Group
If you’re looking for a Cape Town open water swim group to join, you’ve come to the right place!
Our weekly guided group sessions take place in the beautiful oceans of Cape Town. The sessions are designed to help you build and maintain your mile (1.6km) swimming fitness in a fun, structured group setting.
Who is this swim group for?
This group is for swimmers who are keen to explore the open water, maintain their fitness and meet like-minded swimmers. To join, you need to be able to swim a mile (1.6km) in open water (dam or ocean).
New to open water? No problem, find out more about our 4-Week Intro Course.
We also run a 12-Week Advanced Course for those keen to train for Robben Island and other long-distance events.
