Come join us at Salford Watersports Centre and take a plunge into the world of open water swimming!

Our Intro session is designed to give you all the essential skills you need for Open Water Swimming. You'll learn about acclimatisation, how to stay safe in cold open waters, putting on a wetsuit, and key open water skills.

Don't have a wetsuit? No problem! Whilst wetsuits are strongly recommended, if you don't have one, you are welcome to use one of our Watersports wetsuits for the session.

This session will last approximately 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get comfortable in the open water and become confident with your new skills. So come on down and let's get started!

1. Comfortable swimming at least 200m on your front out of your depth

1. Wetsuit (Watersports Wetsuit hire is free of charge for this session or bring your own)
