The Endurance Store Open Water Swim

Dive into the refreshing waters of 3 Sisters Waterski every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 PM and Saturday morning between 8:30 AM and 10 AM. This serene location, nestled in Wigan, offers a perfect setting for social lapped swimming sessions that cater to both beginners and seasoned swimmers alike.
Parking is complimentary at the venue, making it easy to access this tranquil spot. The lake's shallow depth allows you to stand comfortably throughout much of your swim, providing a safe environment for novices. Safety measures are in place with water safety personnel on duty, ensuring peace of mind as you explore the clear and clean waters.
Swimmers must be at least 12 years old to participate, but there are specific guidelines for younger participants:
- For swimmers aged 12 to 15, a swim float is mandatory along with a wetsuit. They should also be accompanied by an adult or a buddy.
- Swimmers aged 16 and older who wear wetsuits do not need a swim float but are advised to use one for added safety.
All participants must don brightly colored swim caps for visibility, avoiding dark colors that might hinder the lifeguards' view. The venue features a designated cold water dipping area where you can acclimate gradually or safely dip without a wetsuit.
While the rules provide clear guidelines, it's important to use common sense and seek advice if unsure about your readiness to swim in open waters without protective gear. This inclusive environment welcomes both newcomers and experienced swimmers alike, fostering an atmosphere of learning and enjoyment.
