Summer Open Water Swim: Dock 9 (15/7)

About the Event

Experience open water swimming at Dock 9 in Salford Quays, offering you the chance to dive into refreshing waters throughout summer. Whether you're an experienced swimmer or just starting out, this venue provides a welcoming environment for all levels of swimmers.
The Summer Open Water Swims take place on Saturdays and Wednesdays from May through September, with specific time slots that cater to different schedules. On Saturdays during the months of May to August, sessions run from 8am until noon, giving you ample time to enjoy an early morning swim or a leisurely afternoon dip. For those who prefer mid-week swims, Wednesday evenings offer a tranquil setting between 5pm and 7:30pm.
September sees a shift in timing for Saturday swims, which are now held from 10am until noon, allowing you to soak up the last rays of summer before autumn sets in. Each session is designed with safety as top priority; remember your tow-float or rent one on-site to ensure a secure and enjoyable swim.
Pre-booking ensures that Bronze and Squid members can take advantage of discounted rates while also securing their spot for those who prefer planning ahead. Even if you miss out on pre-registering, there's still an opportunity to join in by paying the 'On The Day' rate. Just be sure to arrive early enough as last entry is 15 minutes before each session concludes.

Enjoy the cool waters in a vibrant community setting that celebrates open water swimming.
