You must attend this course to be able to attend our Winter Club. Even if you are an experienced cold water swimmer - we still need to see you in action prior to turning up and swimming. It is important that we know what level everyone is at, to ensure your safety during your time at our lake.
Confident pool swimmers are welcome.
The course is 1hr 30mins total, and is part theory, part swim.
You will learn about what to expect from cold water immersion, how to enter and exit the water safely, how to recover and what equipment you will require.
You will be shown the course and be advised of all facilities available to you and how the sessions will run.
