Swim Training
Welcome to the swim specialists! Team Bondi Fit provide 11 swim sessions a week for those interesting in ocean swimming, triathlon or just learning to swim better & get fit!
Coach Spot grew up at the beach surfing, not swimming (uncool) - let's get this clear!
He learnt to swim at Icebergs, but FORGOT to train until he was 20 years old & wanted to be a triathete - God Bless Him!
He went on to a World title in Triathlon, as well as become one of the premier swimmers on the circuit,
both in triathlon & surf lifesaving.
The lesson? Anyone can become a good swimmer - BE PATIENT & do the work!
Spot has worked with some of the top Olympic swim coaches, but has devised many of his own exciting swim ideas for triathletes, surf swimmers & those simply wanting to swim better!
Join Spot & the team if you want to improve & be prepared to learn a few new ideas!
We offer 6 weekly general squads for all standards, as well as 3 x weekly squad stroke correction sessions.
We also run monthly stroke correction video clinics to enhance your stroke.
It's not always just about fitness, we want to swim more efficiently!
Surf swimming - we offer 2 x weekly sessions, with 1 having a Beginners - intermediate coach.

Squad tips:
If you can swim 1km non stop freestyle in a pool, you are welcome!
You will be limited by your swim speed, so we suggest that you attend pool squad training in conjunction with surf squads.
Spot is a big believer in getting most of your swim fitness from the pool (& running), with the surf sessions being the icing on the cake!
We train in all conditions all year round!
Rokie coach Joelie, will offer swim along the beach options when the surf is too big.
However, Spot will also take the advanced swimmers through larger waves where you will be amazed by what you will learn & achieve.
The ocean is the master & needs to be respected.
We will help teach you how to deal with different conditions that may arise on any given day.
This includes tips on getting under waves, getting across sand banks, navigating once out the back, learning about rips & of course - catching waves!
* Water safety provided on Saturday for Beginner - Advanced sessions!
* Beginner standard is those can swim 1km freestyle in a pool.
If you cannot do this, consider our stroke correction squads or clinics!
* Intermediate standard (Thursday only) is those can swim 2km non stop freestyle in a pool.
All Surf sessions meet at North Bondi Surf Club - on the promenade.
Please allow time for traffic & parking as we do not encourage late attendance!
