COLD WATER LAKE SWIMMING Following on from the summer swims the Winter OWS season commenced on Saturday 12th October 2024. From then the water will still be warm(ish), and these sessions are the perfect opportunity to acclimatise yourself safely as the water temperature drops week after week. Please contact winterOWS@tri-anglia.co.uk if you have any questions about these sessions. Check out the OWS Manager roster OWS Volunteer Rota 2023/2024 – Tri-Anglia Triathlon Club to see who is managing the session, or to volunteer to help. Check out the session details here Our aim is for these sessions to be held weekly directly after the summer swims, and throughout the Winter - subject to demand. Initially the sessions will be fortnightly but will be increased if there is enough demand. These will follow the same model as the summer open water swim sessions, although with a slightly cooler feel to them! Cost is £6.00. • Location - Whitlingham Broad (meet on the deck) • Dates - every other Saturday (may become weekly) • Times - 11:00 to 12:00 (we can only be in the water between these times) • Deck and changing rooms open from 10:40 • Warm cabin with warm drinks and biscuits available throughout the session and open until 12:15 • Sign-up will close at 18:00 on the Friday evening before the session, you will not be able to withdraw after this time and may be charged if you do not attend • If the session is full but still you want to swim, you may attend and report to the Swim Manager on arrival, noting that you may have to wait and you are not guaranteed a space, as this will be dependent on numbers in the water.   IMPORTANT! By signing up to attend this session you declare that you have visited the outdoor swimming society webpage and have read/watched the following articles, and that you will abide by the best practice advice contained within;

COLD WATER LAKE SWIMMING Following on from the summer swims the Winter OWS season commenced on Saturday 12th October 2024. From then the water will still be warm(ish), and these sessions are the perfect opportunity to acclimatise yourself safely as the water temperature drops week after week. Please contact winterOWS@tri-anglia.co.uk if you have any questions about these sessions. Check out the OWS Manager roster OWS Volunteer Rota 2023/2024 – Tri-Anglia Triathlon Club to see who is managing the session, or to volunteer to help. Check out the session details here Our aim is for these sessions to be held weekly directly after the summer swims, and throughout the Winter - subject to demand. Initially the sessions will be fortnightly but will be increased if there is enough demand. These will follow the same model as the summer open water swim sessions, although with a slightly cooler feel to them! Cost is £6.00. • Location - Whitlingham Broad (meet on the deck) • Dates - every other Saturday (may become weekly) • Times - 11:00 to 12:00 (we can only be in the water between these times) • Deck and changing rooms open from 10:40 • Warm cabin with warm drinks and biscuits available throughout the session and open until 12:15 • Sign-up will close at 18:00 on the Friday evening before the session, you will not be able to withdraw after this time and may be charged if you do not attend • If the session is full but still you want to swim, you may attend and report to the Swim Manager on arrival, noting that you may have to wait and you are not guaranteed a space, as this will be dependent on numbers in the water.   IMPORTANT! By signing up to attend this session you declare that you have visited the outdoor swimming society webpage and have read/watched the following articles, and that you will abide by the best practice advice contained within;
