Training in Joppa Pans
Sea swimming, Pilates and tennis.
Joppa sits on the Firth of Forth east of Portobello, and salt was once made from seawater here, at Joppa Pans. Training here leans towards the sea. Swim Freedom coaches open and cold water swimming and SwimRun, and Wild Swim Scotland is here too. On land, Brigid McCarthy runs a Pilates studio and Joppa Tennis Courts covers tennis.
Portobello Beach runs along the seafront, and the Joppa Rocks are known for their geology. Cold water is the one place you should never train alone, so a swim buddy is worth finding before anything else.
