Our fantastic team are seasoned outdoor swimmers who swim all year round. They will teach you what you need to know to provide you with a toolkit to swim outside, whatever the season. Reconnect with your breath, learn what your body is capable of, and have fun!
New to outdoor swimming? Would you like to transition from pool swimmer to outdoor swimmer? Do you fancy trying to swim through the winter?
We tailor the introduction course to the season and the course content varies depending upon the water temperature.
The session aims to introduce swimmers with a bit or no experience of swimming outside and give you confidence to swim outdoors. Or, if you are a regular summer swimmer, join us in winter to gain new skills.
We believe that swimming outside is all about community; this session is a perfect opportunity to meet like-minded beginners and start to develop your Swim Tribe.
In the winter months, we tailor the course to specifically deal with the cold. We recommend that you complete the course in winter before you join the Cliff Lakes Winter Swimming Club on a Saturday morning to be properly educated to ensure your safety in the water.
Wetsuit hire is not included. Wetsuits are optional and we encourage swimmers to try the course without one.
If you swim without a wetsuit, a tow float is mandatory and you have the option to purchase a Swim Secure tow donut as part of your booking.
The course price also includes a swimming hat.
We run winter sessions at Cliff Lakes only. Summer sessions run between April and September at both Cliff Lakes and Spot On Wake. Winter sessions are from November to March.
This course is for over 18s only. If you have a child who is interested in swimming outside, please contact us.
