  • Signs it is time to get out

  • What is a bad recovery?
  • How to warm up properly afterwards
  • Rewarm
  • Debrief and hot drink

The course includes a swim in the lake.

You will need to bring with you a swimming costume / shorts, bright hat, goggles if you would like to try to put your face in the water, ear plugs (if you wear them), tow float (preferable), shoes to wear to and from the water, lots of layers for afterwards (if you think you have enough, you haven’t: put in another!), warm footwear and socks for afterwards, woolly hat, big outer layer, and a changing robe (if you have one, don’t worry if you haven’t).

Please try not to indulge in an alcoholic beverage the night before the course.
