Switch on your senses and plunge into the natural world
Saturday 29th March 2025 | Saturday 19th July 2025 | Saturday 20th September 2025
Have you always wanted to take the leap into open water but didn’t know where to start? This experience is the perfect weekend escape for swimmers of all levels who are ready to transition from indoor pools to natural waters. With expert coaching from Ella Foote, you'll gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to embrace the great outdoors.
Your journey begins on Saturday morning with a warm welcome in Botanica, where Ella will introduce the group, share insights, and discuss your swimming experience and goals. Start in the indoor infinity pool for stroke analysis and technique refinement before progressing to the natural outdoor pool, where you’ll learn to adapt to cooler water and changing conditions. After a light group lunch in Botanica, you’ll head down to the lake, where you'll develop essential open water skills, including safety awareness, stroke techniques, and adapting to new sensations.
The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure—unwind in the spa and savour a delicious meal at one of our three dining destinations (don’t forget to book!).
On Sunday morning, enjoy more downtime to soak up the spa facilities or book a private 1-2-1 coaching session for personalised feedback and advice.
