Declan ByrneMandurah Coastal Times

As part of the new Community Aquatic Series roadshow, a pool clinic, technical official forum, governance forum and coaches forum will be held at Mandurah Aquatic, followed by an Open Water Swimming Clinic at Town Beach.

Jovanovich said it was a chance for people to see that open-water swimming was not just for Olympians.

“Open-water swimming is attainable for everyone, not just elite swimmers,” Jovanovich said.

“Once you give it a try, you’ll be counting down the days until your next open-water swim.”

The clinic will provide practical information on taking part in open-water swimming events, followed by an in-water demonstration of how to start, turn around a buoy, sight the course and manage a crowded water space.

The clinic comes in the lead-up to Mandurah’s round of the Swimming WA Open Water Swimming Series on Sunday, November 6 at Town Beach.

Clinic participants can get an exclusive discount on entry to the Mandurah Open Water Swimming round if they sign up at the Community Aquatic Series.
