Sea Swimming

Please book onto this session if you are a competent sea swimmer (i.e. able to swim a minimum of 400 metres in the sea) and you have a wet suit. Given the current sea temperature, wearing a wet suit is compulsory.

A course will be marked out. Short distance 400m. Full distance 750m. Designated patrol boat to support.

Due to COVID restrictions we must all maintain social distancing. Similarly, the changing rooms currently remain closed and so changing will take place on the beach. Bring a dry robe, or equivalent, if you have one. Hot drinks will also be available.

After your swim the bar will be open and a hot supper will be available from the galley. Family and friends are welcome to use the club spectating, bar and galley facilities throughout.

There are risks associated with Open water swimming. You will be asked to confirm that you have read, understood, and follow the Open Water Swimming Guidelines endorsed by, amongst others, RNLI, the Royal Life Saving Society, Swim England and British Triathlon.
