The Endurance Store Open Water Swim

Dive into the refreshing waters of 3 Sisters Waterski every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 PM and on Saturday mornings between 8:30 AM and 10 AM. This serene location, nestled in Wigan, offers a perfect setting for both beginners and seasoned swimmers looking to explore open water swimming.
The venue’s shallow lake allows participants to stand up easily throughout much of the area, making it ideal for those just starting out or who prefer shallower waters. Safety is paramount at 3 Sisters Waterski, with trained lifeguards on duty during all sessions to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Open water swimming here accommodates swimmers aged twelve years and older. For younger participants between the ages of 12 and 15, wearing both a swim float and a wetsuit is mandatory when entering the lake without adult supervision or company from an experienced buddy. Swimmers sixteen years old and above who opt to wear a wetsuit are not required to use a swim float but are strongly encouraged to do so for added safety. Those choosing to swim in their swimsuits ("skins") must always carry a swim float.
Brightly colored swim caps are essential, as they enhance visibility during the event. Dark-colored caps are discouraged due to reduced visibility issues.
The venue features a safe cold water dipping area where participants can acclimate gradually or safely dip without a wetsuit if desired. This feature is particularly beneficial for those new to open water swimming and helps ease them into the experience comfortably.
While these guidelines provide clear directives, common sense plays an important role in ensuring everyone’s safety and enjoyment. For instance, while 12-year-olds are permitted to swim independently with proper gear, it's advisable that they have prior training or club-level proficiency before doing so unsupervised. Similarly, adult novices should seek advice from experienced swimmers or venue staff before attempting a dip without protective equipment.
3 Sisters Waterski is easily accessible and offers complimentary parking for all visitors. Join the growing community of open water enthusiasts at this welcoming and safe location each week to enjoy the serene beauty of Wigan’s waters.
