EXPLORE THE CAMP

Join us for a structured and supportive open water swimming session at Ham Lake, designed to help you feel comfortable, confident, and in control in open water.

These sessions are perfect for:

Swimmers new to open water
Nervous or less experienced open water swimmers
Anyone looking to build confidence and improve technique

LOCATION
Ham Lake (Thames Young Mariners)
Riverside Drive, Richmond, London, TW10 7RX

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!

* unfortunately we're unable to refund/ reschedule open water bookings. However, you’re welcome to transfer your booking to someone else — just let us know at least 24 hours in advance.
