We run regular beginner sessions every Tuesday evening at 6:15pm if you want some extra encouragement, advice and support for your first lake dip.

*Our Loop Swim sessions offer the opportunity for up to 2 hours swimming, with a long course loop of 600m, watched over by our experienced and friendly lifeguard team.
**Our Mindfulness Dips are for swimmers who want a quieter dip for relaxation and meditation in the company of others, with our team to take care of your safety in the water while you enjoy the Lake however you want to. This new swim opportunity is designed for people who wish to immerse and enjoy the lake for peace and restoration, rather than swimming laps.
***Our Beginners Swim is a gentle 30 minute introduction to Open Water session with coaches and water safety team on hand to give tips, advice, encouragement and support
