Tine Barkmann - Open Water Swimming

Patient, perceptive and highly effective open water swim tuition for swimmers with any level of skill - Tine is a wonderful teacher!

What can I say?!? I reached out to Tine as I was desperate to start open water swimming and to give myself a good, solid goal after having my first baby just over a year ago. I’ve always been a relatively strong swimmer (only swimming any distance in a pool mind) but I only ever swam breast stroke. I asked if Tine could train me how to front crawl (properly!!) over a long distance, my goal being the Loch Lomond 1.5km race. Tine was absolutely amazing and I looked forward to every single sessi...

I've been wanting to try sea swimming for a while but was nervous about starting. I signed up for Tine's Introduction to Cold Water session and it was fantastic. There was lots of guidance, and with Tine keeping an eye on us we had the confidence to not only swim but even attempt a handstand! I loved it so much I was back in the water again the next day and plan to join Tine's regular coaching sessions. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience, made to feel at ease and supported every step of the way. Would recommend Tine to anyone willing to give open water a try!

Finally increased my speed thanks to her coaching! Thanks Tine :)
