    I am keen to come down for swim on Wednesday.

    Do you hire out wetsuits. I have old shorty wetsuit, but looking at best options going forward.

  3. Hi,

    I have an 11 year old boy who has done a couple of kids triathlons. 200m swim, 5k ride, 2k run. He’s good at cycling and running, but not great at open water swimming. He’s not bad in the pool but doesn’t seem to be able to take it from the pool to open water. He’s really keen to improve. Can you help?

  4. Hi Can you give me any dates for the rest of June early July that you will be holding Novice Swims. On the general sessions do you have anyone monitoring swimmers?

    Thanks Belinda

    1. Hi Belinda,

      Thanks for your query. We will be holding novice swim clinics on the following Tuesday evenings; 21st June 7:15pm, 5th July 7:15pm, 12th July 7:15pm, 19th July 7:15pm and 26th July. During general swimming Bray Lake Watersport Centre run the swimming and have lifeguards watching the water during the swimming.

  5. How much is the novice swim clinic? I presume by ‘novice’ we mean new to open water swimming but able to swim already?

  6. Hello, I’ve just booked for the Flatfod Mill2Mill swim which is in August 2020.
    I swim reasonably well, freestyle but not in a river before.
    Please give me some starting points and useful information. From browsing your site I see you run introductory sessions from spring onwards.
    Dates, times and cost helpful – thanks.
    Also hiring, with a view to purchasing wet suit.

    Many thanks.

    1. Hi Chris,
      Thank you for your email.A novice intro session is for those new to open water but who are already able to swim so should suit your needs. The cost is £25 which includes lake entry there is also the option to book a “class pass” which is a three part course in order to improve your technique and build up the distance you are swimming in open water. If you would like more information or to book, please see follow the link here.

      Thank you.
