Getting Started with Outdoor Swimming
New to outdoor swimming? Find out everything you need to know on our website, with tips and helpful links below.
Tips to make the most of your winter swims:
- Pace yourself - Even with heated water, colder air temperatures mean your body works harder to stay warm. Listen to your body and swim at a comfortable pace to enjoy longer sessions.
- Keep your head warm - A swimming cap will help you stay comfortable and protect against chilly winds. On extra-cold days, try a woolly hat while doing head-up breaststroke in the pool.
- Warm up after your swim - A hot water bottle or a cozy towel can make a huge difference after your swim. Wrap up and enjoy a little extra comfort before heading home.
- Protect your feet - Outdoor changing areas can feel cold underfoot. Flip flops or standing on an extra towel while changing will keep your feet warm and happy.
- Treat yourself to a hot drink - A warming beverage from our on-site café or a thermos of tea is the perfect way to finish your swim and bring your core temperature back up.
Please note - our usual programmed classes are not included in the Open Day promotion.
