Event Description

Cost: £5.00

Session limit: 20 attendees

Between 7-8pm we have two lanes to cater for a range of abilities and speed. The pool is a 50m unheated outdoor pool. The Thursday session is technique based with plenty of individual pointers to help you improve your stroke (The Monday Lido session is more endurance based).

Please ensure you are on time, including time to get into your wetsuit. If you're not in the water by 5 past, the coach has the right to refuse you entry to the session.

Show your membership card or e-card at reception to be let through (if you haven’t received your card yet ask to be let through). 

Bring towel, goggles, swim cap, wetsuit and bodyglide (or equivalent) and fluids if you want them. Wetsuits are optional but advised when the water is cold. 

Please take your wetsuit off outside the changing rooms to avoid floods in the changing rooms (so don’t forget to wear something underneath). If you need to buy a wetsuit check out partner’s page for offers - http://www.windrushtri.co.uk/page/partners

To be guaranteed of a space please login and RSVP for the session. If you cannot make a session please change your RSVP status to free up your place for someone else.   

This is one of our more popular sessions and therefore we will be enforcing the cancellation policy - If you need to cancel please do so before midday on the day of the session. Anyone who cancels after that or does not turn up will receive a ban for this session the following week. No ifs, no buts.

To check whether you are within the session limit, count the number signed up before you, starting from the bottom right corner.

Please also make sure you are on time otherwise your space may be allocated to someone else.

Hi James, no problem if you are a beginner. There is a fast lane for more experienced triathletes and a slow lane for beginners or those who just aren't fast (I include myself in that category!)  The lido water temperature is hovering around the 20C mark, so warm enough to do the session without a wetsuit. Bring a pullbouy/flippers/hand paddles if you have them but don't worry if not. And don't be discouraged if everyone seems to zoom past you in the early sessions; we've all been there and you will soon find your technique improving and your speeds picking up if you attend the swim sessions regularly.

Hey could I just check if this session is suitable for beginners? I can swim of course but I'm not the fastest and my technique is probably quite poor! Also are wetsuits essential at this time of year? Thanks!
