The Endurance Store Open Water Swim

Every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 PM and Saturday morning from 8:30 to 10 AM, swimmers gather at 3 Sisters Waterski in Wigan for open water sessions that cater to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers. These social swimming events are designed for a relaxed atmosphere where participants can enjoy the serene waters of the lake.
Located just off the M6 motorway, parking is free and easily accessible for all visitors. The venue offers an inviting environment with clear, clean water in which many areas allow standing, making it ideal for beginners to ease into open-water swimming without fear.
Swimmers must be at least 12 years old to participate. For those aged between 12 and 15, safety is paramount; they are required to wear both a swim float and wetsuit when entering the lake, ensuring their visibility and protection in cooler waters. Adult swimmers over 16 can choose whether or not to use a swim float if wearing a wetsuit but must still adhere to this guideline for skin swims.
A bright-colored swim cap is mandatory for all participants to ensure they are easily spotted by safety personnel. The venue features a shallow, safe area where newbies and experienced swimmers alike can acclimate themselves gradually without the need for immediate full immersion in cooler temperatures.
3 Sisters Waterski prides itself on fostering an inclusive environment that encourages learning and enjoyment of open water swimming. Whether you're just starting out or looking to enhance your skills, these sessions offer a supportive community where everyone feels welcome.
