  1. Do you hold any evening beginner open water sessions, just going from pool to open water, I think I heard you held some sessions last year. Many thanks. Nicky

    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?
