Open Water Season Lake Burwain 2026

🌊 Right then, you lovely lot… 🏊‍♀️
This is your friendly (ish) reminder that bookings for Thursday’s Open Water Swim close at lunchtime on Wednesday.

And before anyone asks… YES, that includes the pies! 🥧

We’re good… but we’re not miracle workers. If you haven’t booked, we can’t just pull a pie out of thin air because you gave us your best puppy-dog eyes. 😂

Don’t be that person, stood watching everyone else tucking into a hot pie while you’re sat there with nowt but a brew, melted chocolate bar and bad decisions. 😏
So, less scrolling, more booking!

🏊 Book your swim.
🥧 Book your pie.
🙌 Turn up, have a swim , have a laugh, and leave with a full belly.

Wednesday lunchtime. That’s your deadline. No excuses, no sulking… and definitely no pinching someone else’s pie! 😉🥧🌊

🚨 LAST CALL FOR THURSDAY’S OPEN WATER SWIM 🚨

Right then, swimmers…

This is your friendly (but increasingly less friendly) reminder to get yourselves booked on for Thursday. 😏

While we love seeing you every week, we can’t spend our days chasing people for bookings like lost toddlers in a supermarket.

If you’re coming, book on.
If you’re thinking about coming, book on.
If you’re waiting for a sign… this is it. 📢

The team needs numbers, the session needs organising, and contrary to popular belief, we don’t possess magical mind-reading powers.

So do the decent thing, make life easier for everyone, and get your booking sorted NOW.

We’ll wait… P.S- PIES 🥧

⏰🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Just because the admin is away doesn’t mean you lot can get away with leaving your bookings until the last minute… 👀

Our fabulous team still needs to know who’s joining us for Thursday’s open water swim, so do everyone a favour and get those bookings in early. No carrier pigeons, no “I thought I’d done it”, and definitely no last-minute panic messages! 😏

Make life easy for the team, secure your spot, and help us keep things running smoothly while the usual bod is prancing about with princesses, baguettes and lots of stinky cheese 🧀 🇫🇷

And while we’re talking important business… don’t forget the pies. 🥧 Because swimming is great, but swimming followed by pie is elite.

Book now. Be organised. Surprise us all. 😘

📢 Reminder: bookings close at lunchtime on Wednesday, so make sure you get yours in before we close and finalise numbers.

A gentle but firm reminder from the Pendle Triathlon Club team:

We are all volunteers who give our time alongside full-time jobs, family commitments, and other responsibilities. We work hard to make open water run smoothly, make sure it is safe and maximise the booking window as best we can to accommodate everyone where possible
We are trying our best 💚🧡

While we completely understand that it can be really disappointing and frustrating to miss the booking window and not be able to book a session, we very much do not like saying no!

We do ask that communication remains respectful. Rude messages or negative comments towards volunteers are neither fair nor helpful.

We would like to thank those who have shown patience, understanding, and support. Your kindness and appreciation mean a great deal to us and make all the hard work worthwhile.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
