Queenford Lakes Open Water Swimming

Not all early mornings are equal. Some are even more special than the others 💜

⏳ COME & TEST YOUR SWIM TACTICS and PACE after a summer of training - join us for SWIM OUT OF TIME next Thursday evening.

⏳ We will have a 300m LAP ready for you.
You will start altogether with 15 min on the clock and in that time you will complete lap 1, get out of the water ad get ready for the next swim.
⏳ Next you will have 14 min to complete lap 2, 13 min to complete lap 3 and so on, until the last swimmer runs out of time to finish!

It will be all about tactics, pacing and speed at the end. You decide how to play it! There will be a prize for the WINNER in the men and women category
- a 300 m course will be delimited by buoys
- the start will be a beach entry with deep water set off

It was a lot of fun last year. Come on, join in, it is a lot more fun when there are lots of swimmers at the start!

Another gorgeous Monday night swim, another gorgeous sunset 🌅

PARKING 🅿️

A simple request for a bit of mindfulness around parking.
Yesterday 3 vehicles were blocked in by other vehicles. Not because of a lack of space, but a lack of attention.
So when you park up, just have a good look and make sure you’re not preventing anyone else from leaving or blocking entrances or exits. Or using the space of 2 vehicles.

(You’ll notice we are nice and didn’t use actual photos of the vehicles from yesterday….some colours might be similar though…😉)

Here are most of our 10 km finishers - everyone who started, finished their marathon! 🙌🏽
Well done everyone and thanks for taking part, pushing yourself that little further to see what you are capable of and inspiring others in the lake community 🙌🏽 (and making some jealous with your well earned cakes).

This is what those challenges are about! And we will be back next Summer with a new series.

Only a few events left this season: Swimming against time on 10/9 and our sunrise swim on 26/9 (almost full) - all available to book on Swimscan in the Events tab.

See you tomorrow night from 6 - only 4 Mondays left this year… 😱

See you in the morning 🏊🏻‍♀️
