Open Water Swimming Safety - Lecture by Marjon Huibers

Safety is always the number 1 concern of the ATAC committee, followed by fun and then, if we have time, really, it is really not that important, competition (according to me, because I am slow).

But a little bit more seriously, safety is very important, and that is why we are organizing a Lecture on Open Water Swimming Safety, with Marjon. That lecture is free, and you will happen to find some snacks and drinks to have while you learn how to do the sport you love in an even safer way.

'Marjon Huibers will speak about open water swimming safety. Marjon is an open water swimmer through and through. She is a Total Immersion Master Coach and founder and owner of Swimfantastic. Swimfantastic swimming school trains adults who want to swim across the pool for the first time and swimmers who want to swim across the IJsselmeer.

She also works as a freelance trainer and examiner for the Dutch Lifeguard Association. She is co-organizer and competition director of the Rondje Pampus. In 2021, she wrote the book "Swim Your Mind Strong" about mental flexibility and swimming. This was followed in 2022 by the ANWB book "Swimming in Nature."

* She will offer discount to ATAC members to sign up for her Lifeguard course. And if we have enough interest (10 minimum), she can create a course specifically for ATAC members. This course is suggested for intermediate and advance swimmers.
