Here comes the COLD water season. We will continue to be open through out the winter, so it is worth swimming down with the tempreture. Please seek advice and knowlegde on cold water swimming and be aware of the risks. Please consult the relevant people if you have concerns.
We have had a few cases of people attendeing when there are no sessions on. If you get on to site and there is no lifeguard team at the get in, then swimming is not on. Please do not enter the water.
Please note: All swimmers are required to wear a bright swim hat, no black. We strongly advise non wetsuit swimmers to use a tow float.
