Apparently the Royal Docks have had regular open water swimming sessions since summer 2015. Has anyone tried it? Would you recommend it?

This is a only personal view.

I have swum in the docks doing London triathlon. It never tastes that healthy to
me although I try not to drink obviously.

I also became VERY ill after swimming in the Thames at Windsor in the triathlon. Six weeks off work was a bit of an eye opener about the issues of open water swimming when the quality of the water is not right.

So I would be inclined to look elsewhere personally.

I haven't tried it as it's saturday morning and interferes with parkrun. But I do know the person teaching it and she is an excellent teacher that does triathlons herself

I think Tauni swam in there a lot...might be worth pinging her a message...

Hi Sarah, do you have the teacher's contact details?

Thanks! Beth

Tastes a bit soapy but with a 1500m loop it's one of the larger/most central swim venues. No showers (toilet in large building behind by cafe) and changing rooms were a little breezy but they were on to sorting them out.Ran by NOWCA. Not been this year yet but last year they did Thurs eve sessions so you can still fit your long run/bike in at the weekend. Royal Victoria is the nearest DLR. Got to use the cable car too :)

I do Beth, I will talk to her tomorrow when I see her.  I will then PM you.
