Please note the A31 is still closed which may impact those coming to swim later. There are alternative routes but you may need to allow more time. There is flexibility on arrival time so please don’t worry if you arrive after your booked time.

Tomorrow is our gin, burgers and swim evening. Our coached session is still running at 6pm and we will keep the site open until 8.30pm so you have time to enjoy the food and drinks post swim (swim times remain the same 5.30-7.30pm)

We are getting busier as the weather improves so please park sensibly in the car park and when in the water sight more regularly and be courteous to other swimmers.

See you all tomorrow 🍸 🏊‍♂️ 🍔

Plenty of space in our coaching session tomorrow evening if you want to join. Ideal for those new to open water or anyone wanting to improve their stroke and general confidence. Drop me a DM if you want to come along. £12 cash on arrival.

The water is currently 24 degrees and the outside temp will be 30-31 when we open later. If you have wanted to try without a wetsuit I would suggest today is the day as it will be very hot in one!

Our coaching slots are running every week. A new block of 4 (£40) starts tonight or you can just pay as you go (£12). I did post this last week but for some reason the post isn’t showing 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ drop me a DM if you want to join 👍
