FAQ

Everything you need to know

Getting Started

How does the free trial work?

Your free trial gives you full access to OSC for 7 days. Explore your training pathway, complete swim and strength sessions, connect with your coaches and experience the community for yourself. No restricted features, experience OSC exactly as a member would.

Do I need to already swim at a club to join OSC?

Not at all. OSC is your swim club. You can train independently at any suitable pool, anywhere in the world. If you already train with a club or squad, OSC can also complement your existing swimming with additional structure, strength & conditioning and recovery support.

What happens after I sign up?

You'll receive access to the OSC app, where you'll choose the pathway that best matches your current ability, Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. From there, your training, video demonstrations, coach support, community and challenges are all in one place. Simply choose your session, head to the pool and start training.

Training

What does a typical week of training look like?

Your week combines structured swim training with sport-specific strength & conditioning and recovery. Sessions develop the key areas of swimming performance, including aerobic fitness, technique, speed, threshold and endurance, while your strength and recovery work supports what you're doing in the water.

What happens if I miss a session?

Nothing to worry about. OSC is designed to work around real life. If you miss a session, you can return to it when your schedule allows or simply continue with your training week. Consistency over time matters far more than one missed workout.

Does it matter if I have access to a short-course or long-course pool?

No. OSC can be used in both 25m and 50m pools, with sessions structured so you can complete your training regardless of which you have access to. Your pool might change but the purpose of the session doesn't.

Membership & Billing

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. If you're on our Flex membership, you can cancel before your next billing date to prevent another payment. If you've chosen Commit or Perform, your membership remains active for the duration of the period you've purchased.

What's the difference between Flex, Commit and Perform?

The OSC experience is exactly the same across all three options, no features, coaching or training are locked behind a more expensive membership. The only difference is how long you choose to commit. Flex, £49.99 billed every 4 weeks. Commit, £269.99 billed every 6 months. Perform, £479.99 billed annually and offers our best overall value. The longer you commit to your training, the more you save.

Can I pause my membership?

Currently, OSC memberships cannot be paused. If you need to stop training for an extended period, please contact us and we'll help you understand the options available for your membership.

Swimmers & Triathletes

Is OSC designed for swimmers or triathletes?

Short answer: both. For swimmers, OSC provides the structure of a modern swim club, helping you improve technique, endurance, speed and overall performance whether you're returning to the sport, training as a Masters athlete or chasing your next PB. For triathletes, swimming is only one part of a much bigger training week. OSC gives your swim training the structure and purpose it deserves, helping you become more efficient in the water while integrating swim-specific strength and recovery alongside your wider training. Different sports. Different goals. One standard of coaching.
