Service Description

Enjoy a refreshing outdoor lane swim. This session is designed for swimmers who would like to enjoy the benefits and challenge of swimming in cold water. The water temperature will decrease gradually, and our weekly sessions allow you to acclimatise with the temperature as the season progresses. With trained lifeguards, hot drinks, and yummy cake available after your swim, you can enjoy the benefits of cold water in a safe, friendly environment. To warm up after your dip, please bring plenty of layers, hats, gloves, scarves, hot water bottles, and anything else that helps get you cosy and warm. We operate a wristband safety system - Each swimmer receives a numbered wristband at the start of the session, and we record your emergency contact details linked to that number. This helps us to keep everyone safe throughout the swim.
