NEW SEASON OF OPEN WATER
We start the Open Water season
Below we present the Open Water project of the Barcelona City Council with the collaboration of Club Lleuresport, which aims to encourage the practice of swimming in open water both for people who want to start and for those who already have an intermediate level (The minimum necessary to come is to be able to go and return to the buoy located 200m from the coast).
We will leave from the IEM Espai de Mar. We meet on Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. already changed and changed! In the center you will have lockers, changing rooms, toilets and showers and you will be able to arrive before the start of the session.
There will be 12 free consecutive sessions of an hour and a half, with a qualified instructor, on Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., with the option of continuing with us on a timely basis or with a session bonus for initiation courses or improvement. Check prices on our website. espaidemar.cat
As in every year, it is necessary to reserve a place. To do this, you must send an email to aiguesobertes@lleuresport.cat attaching the signed pdf below. 12 totally free consecutive sessions of an hour and a half will be reserved, with a qualified instructor, on Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Once these sessions are over, you will have the option of continuing with us on a timely basis or with a session voucher for beginner or advanced courses. We will confirm if you have a place or not.
Let us remind you that it is an open water initiation group, so if you have too much level the monitor will be able to refer you to the improvement group that takes place on Saturdays.
If you want to use neoprene and/or buoy, they can be rented at our facility (7 euros for the neoprene and 3 euros for the buoy)
Classes will start on May 10 until December 20 and, although it is a schedule, on November 1 and December 6 the activity will not take place coinciding with a holiday.
