Pool2Lake Open Water Description
Hello, my name is Heather Schelhase and I was born in Johnannesburg, South Africa. We moved to the UK in 2004, wanting an adventure and still living it. I got into teaching swimming in 2009 and have not looked back. I have always loved swimming. I had wonderful swimming opportunities when my family and I lived in Connecticut for 2 years and was able to swim in the Long Island Sound and a variety of rivers. Nothing better than swimming with the sun beating down on you and no pool walls.

St Albans, Townsend School Wednesday 8.30pm-9.30pm session starts. 🐟12 September 2018🐟 #fitness #frontcrawl #swimmingtechnique #amanziopenwater #openwaterswimming #swimfitness #harpenden #stalbans
Your swim technique should be the same with a wetsuit and without. #swimtechnique . Don't allow a non wetsuit race to be daunting. Train in the pool to correct all stroke flaws. Tuesday 9.00am or 9.45am Wednesday 8.30pm #amanziopenwater #harpenden #StAlbans #swimfitness
The holidays are over and now it's time to fix any front crawl faults, get fit and set new goals for your next open water challenge. WELCOME BACK #amanziopenwater #getfit #swimsmoothly #swimefficiently
Please check the lake opening times as they are changing because it’s getting dark earlier now. Keep swimming 🏊♀️🏊♀️
Swimming in a group you definitely train harder. Tuesday morning or Wednesday evening pool sessions. #amanziopenwater #frontcrawltechnique #harpenden #stalbans

The open water season is not over. Keep swimming 🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️We had a great drills session @boxendpark
Why should I join a pool session? I am not a good enough swimmer! I can only swim one length of front crawl! I am going to feel silly while everyone else is zooming past me.
If you can swim one length of front crawl this is the session for you. I am passionate about front crawl and open water swimming, so I really do try to make sure everyone feel welcome, you will swim at your pace with no pressure. The session is all about you and your own goals.
... Give it a try and you will be surprised. #newfrontcrawlswimmer #frontcrawl #pooltraining #triathlon #harpenden #stalbans #swimtechnique #efficientfrontcrawl

Taking the jump from pool to open water can be scary and there is a lot of self doubt. You can do it! Amanzi has lots of sessions to allow you to have a confident transition. #amanziopenwater #newopenwaterswimmer #harpenden #stalbans #wildswim #frontcrawltechnique #strokecorrection
Having an overall front crawl stroke tune up will allow you to get rid of any bad habits you may have picked up over the summer holidays, get you started to increase your fitness and brush up on your open water techniques.
It's a fun session which will give you a total body workout.
Please bring short blade fins and a water bottle.
... Session costs £4.50

Open water swimming is a journey, some days it's easier and other days it's tough. Consistency, hard work and determination are key! #amanziopenwater #openwaterswimming #triathlon #recreationalswimmer #fitness #funswim
Age really is just a number. Try open water swimming, you will feel amazing. #amanziopenwater #poolswimming #poolfitness #newbieopenwaterswimmer #newtriathlete #harpenden #stalbans #fitness
I always feel so nervous before an open water event but an organised race allows you to put all your hard work to the test. The race will show you how much potential you have and how far you have come to achieve your goal. #amanziopenwater #pooltraining #harpenden #StAlbans #ThisGirlCan #swimmingtechnique #fitness #triathlon

The winter training sessions that Heather ran in St Albans is training that I would highly recommend. She ensured everyone received individual tips specific to their swimming technique and made sure the full session was planned out to the minute. Each week was challenging and I definitely like I've progressed. Now in outdoor season I very much look forward to working with her to help build my confidence and style.
Thank you for such a fun and inspiring session for the tweens and teenagers. Eldest child has now rediscovered her love for swimming and is looking forward to more opportunities to train with you.
Thank you Heather for being such a brilliant and patient teacher both in the pool and in the lake! I really appreciate your time and you've helped me build my confidence. Thank you!
Recently I was talked into joining the Open Water training sessions at Westminster Lodge. I haven’t had a swimming lesson in 40 years and when I do swim it was mainly breast stroke with a couple on lengths of crawl thrown in.
As the start of the course approached I became apprehensive, worried I had made a huge mistake!
Can honestly say after the 5 week course it is one of the best sporty things I have ever done.
The course is structured & challenging but it is broken down into different drills so the hour passes quickly. No one makes you feel intimidated, the other swimmers are very supportive.
Heather is a great teacher and makes the sessions fun & enjoyable.
Definitely recommend this course.
My children went to the pool session in half term and loved it! Thank you.
I really enjoyed my month of open water training, mainly I helped me see where I was going wrong with my stroke but it also gave an insight into how it feels to swim ‘en mass’ and how to cope in a lot if open wTer situations. I’d like to do some more please! Also it’s suitable for a variety of swimming levels from basic pool swimmer (me) to experienced open water swimmers.
