Description

Ready to experience the thrill of open water? Join our introductory sessions designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to enjoy swimming at The Lake.

We gather by the water under the marquee for a relaxed talk and Q&A with open-water swimming coach Helen Webster. Topics include The Lake as a premier swim location, open-water safety, essential gear, managing nerves, cold-water shock and hypothermia, and effective warm-up techniques.

After the talk, swimmers get suited up and, supported by experienced swimmers at The Lake and our safety boat, enjoy a refreshing swim together. Tow floats are provided for added safety and peace of mind.

The session concludes with warming hot chocolate and time to share first open-water experiences. By the end, you will be excited to return and enjoy a summer of swimming with us.
