The Endurance Store Open Water Swim

At 3 Sisters Waterski in Wigan, open water swimming sessions welcome both beginners and experienced swimmers every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 PM and Saturday morning from 8:30 to 10 AM. These social lapped swims offer a relaxed environment for those looking to enjoy the serene waters of the lake.
The venue is particularly suited for novices, with much of the lake being shallow enough to stand in comfortably. Safety measures are rigorously enforced, including water safety cover and clear, clean water that enhances visibility underwater. Swimmers aged 12 or older can participate, but those under 16 must adhere to specific guidelines: they should wear a swim float along with a wetsuit if swimming without one (skins), and it’s recommended for all swimmers over 16 who are not wearing a wetsuit to use a swim float as well.
A safe cold water dipping area is available, allowing participants to acclimate gradually or take refreshing dips safely. All swimmers must wear bright-colored swim caps for visibility; dark caps are discouraged. The venue’s shallow loop provides an ideal setting for beginners and experienced swimmers alike, offering opportunities to improve skills in a supportive environment.
Whether you’re looking to dip your toes into open water swimming or enhance your existing abilities, 3 Sisters Waterski offers the perfect blend of safety and enjoyment. Sessions must be booked online beforehand, ensuring that all participants can make the most out of their experience without any hassle.
For those new to cold water swimming, there’s no need for concern—many novices join each week, creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at ease. The venue staff are always on hand to provide guidance and advice, making sure every swimmer has a safe and enjoyable time.
