EXCELerator 8 - 4000m - London Royal Docks - 16th August 2022

Starting on 10 May, this timed swim series will take you from 500m up to 4500m over 9 events.


* The EXCELerator is perfect if you are training for a 5k swim event or if you want to challenge yourself to swim a longer distance.

* Events will be hosted every fortnight.

* 500m distance will be added each time until we reach 4500m.

* Each event costs £15.

* First event of the series starts on 10 May at 500m.

* Event booking includes a general swim (before or after the event). SWIMMERS MUST SCAN AND IN OUT WITH THE DUTY MANAGER as you would for a normal swim session.


** Each fortnight a coach will be on hand to talk swimmers through a different event topic (approx 15mins) which you can then implement in your swim that day. This will happen on the pontoon and be followed by a brief 'dry' warm-up before commencing your timed swim ** Please ensure you are changed and ready to swim by 18:15 **


** BONUS 2 FREE EVENTS: When you complete all 9 swims, we'll give you a £30 refund at the completion of the series **


** YOU CAN JOIN THE SERIES AT ANY TIME. EACH DISTANCE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BOOK ON ACTIO **


** AS DISTANCES GET LONGER (LATER IN THE SERIES), SWIM START TIMES MAY BE SCHEDULED EARLIER **

Inductions:
Cold Water Inductions are required between November 1 - 31 March or when the water temperature drops below 15 degrees (whichever is sooner). If you’ve previously completed the NOWCA Cold Water Induction (online or onsite) this should be marked against your profile (check with your Venue Manager onsite). If you haven’t completed the induction before, you will need to do this before swimming at the venue in the winter season.
