OPEN WATER SWIMMING

We are now opening our lake on a Tuesday and Thursday evening for anyone interested in open water swimming. Open water swimming takes place in outdoor bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, canals, oceans, bays and reservoirs. Our purpose built lake here at Rock and River is perfect for anyone who may be interested in starting open water swimming and for more experienced swimmers as a training facility.

Why? 

• Our flat lake measures approximately 50m x 60m and is the perfect environment for introducing yourself to open water swimming  
• Swimming as a sport, hobby or exercise programme has significant cardiovascular benefits and open water swimming adds different levels of intensity and resistance
• Open water swimming is a great way to increase your cardio and it also improves muscle strength and builds excellent stamina
• Swimming is easier on the bones and joints with minimal impact stress on your body
• Regular open water swimming will condition your body, improve your circulation and boost your immune system
• Open water swimming is perfect training for anyone interested in taking part in triathlons

When? It all sounds very exciting, but when can I come along and swim?

• Every Tuesday and Thursday evening
• From 5pm til 8pm
• From Easter until the end of September

Costs? I'm sold on it already, but how much will it cost me?

• £5 per person and you can stay as long as you like!

Safety? How safe is it?

• We DO NOT provide lifeguards - you must be a strong, competent swimmer
• We have a limited number of wetsuits available which will aid your buoyancy whilst in the water - please enquire when booking

So, now you know a little more about the open water swimming on offer at Rock and River Outdoor Pursuits we look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in the lake very soon!
