Fit & Abel

Fit & Abel Adult swim coaching, both in the pool and open water. Our passion is to show how people can safely transition from pool based to open water swimming safely.

There's simply nothing like it. FitandAbel specialises in open water swimming – we truly believe swimming is one of the best forms of exercise available. We can help you with adult learn to swim, open water swimming, competitive triathlon and open water or pool swimming aspirations. The pool is normally where swimmers are ‘born’. A pool provides a safe environment to get comfortable in the water, learn swim technique and improve fitness. Once swim technique and fitness have been achieved the options become plentiful. If you are of a competitive nature then competitive swimming, triathlons or an ironman event may be your calling. If you enjoy the fitness of swimming but are also drawn to the relaxing and ‘zen like state’ that can be achieved with longer swims or you just enjoy swimming in a natural environment then open water swimming might be the answer. Fit&Abel can tailor coaching and swim experiences to suit your requirements. It’s what we love doing and it’s what we’re good at. Whatever your level of swim ability Fit&Abel can help you on the journey. You can expect:

- Expert swimming knowledge.
- Willingness and ability to listen to your needs.
- Exceptional customer care.
- Honesty and integrity.
- Fun. Bespoke Swim services tailored to your abilities and aspirations. Check out our Events and Bookings page or contact me direct at [email protected] to get started. Together we can redefine your limits and achieve great things

One mug. Every part of your day.

Essential FitandAbel equipment as we move towards spring.

After being in the open water, especially the early season water temperatures, once you come out nothing beats a nice warm drink in your own thermal mug.

Which colour is your favourite? 🤔

Strictly limited numbers…once they’ve gone they’re gone. Purchase details coming very soon!

Small group, picturesque views, zero rush.

This is what a break from routine is supposed to look like — trail snacks, rolling farmland and native bush stretching ahead, and nothing pulling at your attention. That’s the whole point of Fish out of Water.

Just over 3 weeks until our inaugural weekend hiking adventure.
