Open Water Is Back!!!
Sessions start on Monday the 29thof April at 6PM in our usual spot at Wykeham lakes.
The water will be around 8-10 degrees and our first few sessions will be dips rather than swims for most, we do encourage our younger swimmers to wait a month before coming up so the water does warm up a little and always with an adult to take care of them as they come out.
Open water training is open to all club swimmers over the age of 10 who can swim at least mile.
Please talk to Paula Ambury frontdesk@kingfishersswimmingclub.org.uk if you are in any doubt.
If new to open water please speak to Paula before attending a session.
You will need lots of warm layers for after your swim, flip flops/sliders or crocs for walking to and from the water and a dry robe or dressing gown to wear before getting in.
We also need volunteer kayakers; the club will provide the life jackets and kayaks along with biscuits and hot chocolate after the session has finished.
If you think you could help, please come down to the lake on the 29th April, park in the main car park and walk down to towards the water on your right. You will see the containers to your left and lots of blue T-shirts. The open water section work towards local sea swims, national competitions and marathon team relay swims to name just a few. Some of our swimmers just swim to clear their minds and rest themselves.
Whatever your reason please come down and see what we are all about, we look forward to seeing you.
