Discover Open Water Swimming
We’ll gather by the water under the marquee for a relaxed talk and Q&A with open water swimming coach Helen Webster. We’ll discuss everything you need to know, including:
- The Lake as a premier swim location
- Open water safety best practices
- Essential gear and equipment
- Managing nerves and anxiety
- Understanding cold water shock and hypothermia
- Effective warm-up techniques after your swim
- Open Q&A – all questions welcome!
Following the talk, we’ll get suited up and, with support from other experienced swimmers at The Lake and our safety boat, enjoy a refreshing swim together. Tow floats will be provided for added safety and peace of mind.
We’ll conclude the evening with warming hot chocolate as we share our first open water experiences.
By the end of this session, you’ll be excited to return and enjoy a summer of swimming with us.
