WHAT TO EXPECT
After a safety briefing, and short group swim around one of the pontoons, we'll split off into ability-based groups for coached swimming. The lake offers shorter swim loops with pontoons for resting, with the option to build up to a full loop if you’d like more of a challenge - something for all abilities!
Our experienced coaches will be both in the water and on paddleboards, providing guidance, encouragement, and technique tips throughout.
We’ll finish with a relaxed debrief and social at a nearby pub!
PRICE
