Open Water
During the warmer months, usually April to September, we also organise open water sessions.
In 2025, we had a Tuesday evening session at the London Fields Lido and a Sunday morning session at the West Reservoir Leisure Centre.
These sessions were enjoyed by all and we hope they’ll make a comeback in 2026, subject to venue capacity and cost.
Various members also organise unnofficial Open water swims usually at the Hampstead Ponds, the Royal Docks or Canary Wharf.
