Open Water Swim UK looks forward to seeing you at the lake this weekend with the fine weather of last weekend and earlier this week the lake is a warm 17.3 degrees.

Please note this weekend that wetsuit trials will finish at 8am on Saturday and we will only have a limited number available on Sunday. The indoor changing rooms will close at 08.30am and we are providing benches at the rear of the building for the men and a new changing room for the Women from 08:00 onwards. Toilet facillities can be accessed in the usual way but through the bar after 08:30.

Urgent News from Open Water Swim @ Liquid Leisure -- Thursday, April 17 2008
Open Water Swim was due to open this weekend Saturday April 19th, but due to the unseasonably cold weather the OWS team Richard Stannard and Mike Trees have decided to postpone a week until the lake temperature increases. The current lake temperature is 10 degrees and below the recommended race temperature standard of 12 degrees. While they both appreciate the need for open water swim training safety of the athletes has to be paramount.

Mike and Richard will still be down at the lake on Saturday to take a free run session (start 7am) around the (Get Ready For) Aquathlon Race Series run course for anyone interested and anyone who happens turn up for a swim.

Keep an eye on the website http://www.openwaterswim.co.uk for the lake temperature, and any more information regarding Open Water Swimming @ Liquid Leisure.
