Club News

Our Monday night open water sessions are set to start for the season in the water on Monday May 8th at 18:45 O’Brien’s Bridge. The water temperature is cool but on the rise ( Measured 12.5oC this week). We suggest using the next few weeks to acclimatise – only staying in for 15 -20 minutes initially. We will bring in more structured training once we have become comfortable

• TI membership for insurance, wetsuits and a brightly coloured swim are essential
• Entry upstream of the bridge on the OBB side (by tennis courts)
• It is important to acclimatise – don’t stay on too long on your first few swims and bring a wooly/fleece hat for afterwards.
• For the first few weeks we will stick to the 500M straight stretch of water – progressing to the 2.5km loop around the island.
• The club have also invested in Swim safety bouys – this will be available to any less confident swimmers and to mark the lead & back swimmers.
• A tow path runs south towards Castleconnell – ideal for a run afterwards.
• Parking is available by the playground, or in the village. Please be mindful of the residents and don’t block driveways, access etc
