NEW TO OPEN
WATER SWIMMING?

Why not try our beginners course,
open to adults over the age of 16.
We cover off all the basics of what
to wear, health and safety, getting
used to the cold and how to make
the most of your time in the water.
We will also give you a new swim
hat to set you on your way!
