If you are new to open water swimming, out of practice or need a confidence boost, we highly recommend you start with our Introduction to Open Water Swimming course in Spring and Summer, whilst our Introduction to Cold Water Swimming and Immersion is a must for those wanting to swim from October onwards. Both courses are highly informative about safely wild swimming in lakes and other types of water. Cold water swimming can boost the immune system, improve circulation and reduce stress and it’s a great way to meet other new swimmers and find swimming buddies.
