Front Crawl technique workshop- Brilliant!Alice is so knowledgeable and able to communicate really clearly and easily, providing tips and drills to improve your stroke based on watching you in the pool.Alice breaks the stroke down and provides useful tools to help with your efficiency in the water.Great individual drills to focus on your own areas to improve and the before and after videos really do show the improvements that can be made during the course of the day.Would highly recommend if you are looking to improve your front crawl.

I attended the SwimWild Front Crawl Technique Workshop last week in Nethybridge. This is the second time I've been to this workshop, Alice is a fantastic coach with so much experience. I love the format of the workshop with the pool sessions, analysis of stroke and points to work on. Alice always gives great advice and personalised practices for stroke improvement. Looking forward to putting her advice into practice and booking next year's course!

Saturday was my 3rd annual front crawl technique workshop with Alice at Swimwild. Cant recommend this day enough. I began picking up front crawl about 5 years ago and Alice's days have helped enormously - learning proper technique and giving me drills to work away on over the year. Getting a video of what you're actually doing under the water is illuminating! Now just need to put the practice in. Thanks Alice, will be back again next year!

I really enjoyed the Introduction to Open Water Swimming Course with Alice. She was very helpful and pitched the course just at the right level for our group of women who where nervous about going into the water. Felt very comfortable with her coaching technique and in safe hands. Going on this course was definitely the right choice for making the first step towards wild swimming. I would also go back and do more swimming adventures with Alice in the future.

An amazing weekend! The swims were beautiful, in a different loch each time. We were really well looked after with good local knowledge and lots of cake and hot drinks after. Accommodation at Inshriach House was very comfortable. Catering was excellent too. Can't fault the weekend at all.

Awesome weekend with Alice and her SwimWild team of swimming, exploring, fun and CAKE! I can highly recommend the SwimWild Highland Gathering to swimmers of all abilities ~ it was WONDERFUL!

I've just returned from a superb SwimWild holiday to Knoydart and can highly recommend. Amazing swims, walks, wildlife spottings and a huge amount of laughter. I will definitely be going on another SwimWild holiday in the future.

The Open Water training session with Alice at Loch Insh was absolutely fabulous! She managed to pack in a huge amount of information about safety/dealing with the cold and equipment (plenty on hand to try out) before helping us to challenge ourselves in the water. As there were four of us with four different levels of experience (ranging from Triathlon to absolute beginner in terms of swimming outdoors) this was no mean feat but she inspired confidence in all of us with her brilliant teaching, made sure we'd all achieved something new and made the session huge fun. I can't wait to do a front crawl workshop with her and hopefully other further training sessions because I know she'll help me crack my front crawl technique in a day after trying to learn it in fits and starts over pandemic time. I just wish I could join a weekly Swim Wild group but I'll have to work out how to engineer moving north first! Thank you Alice! x PS. I'm going to buy a tow float from the shop!

Had wanted to start outdoor swimming for a long time, and Alice gave me the perfect session to kick start everything. Totally put my anxieties to rest, very clear explanations of what to expect of the cold, and all the safety features. Loch Insh was lovely, and at 10degrees the water wasn’t as cold as I had feared. I swam far more than I thought I would be able to, and Alice did some front crawl teaching which was badly needed. She is a very good teacher. I enjoyed this so much I have booked again in two weeks. Can thoroughly recommend - for me this was well worth the 2 hour journey from Perth. Thank you Alice - an inspiration.

I've done a few events with Swim Wild and the team are brilliant. Events are well organised and always enjoyable. I did a coaching session with Alice and got loads from it, she took my swim back to basics and as a result I'm really enjoying freestyle.
