UoN Wild Swimming Society

Here are our upcoming swims for October! We will confirm times and dates closer to the time 🕰️📆

P.S. tickets are available for the Spring Lakes sunset swim so be sure to get one!! They are available on the Spring Lakes website https://ecom.roller.app/springlakeswatersportsandleisure/sessions/en/products?product=833371&date=2024-10-10

Here is a handy guide to our swims at Spring Lakes! Be sure to DM us if you have any more questions 💚💛🐠🐡

We will be holding our first swim of the academic year at Spring Lakes on Wednesday 2nd October at 2:30pm 💚💛🐠

To get to Spring Lakes, we usually organise ride shares in members’ cars or Ubers, which we organise in our car share document (which we’ll share soon) and groupchat (link in bio).

We have kit (wetsuits, tow floats and swim hats) which is free for members to use and is allocated on a first come first serve basis through our kit doc, which will also be shared soon. If you are too late to get any, you can also hire kit from Spring Lakes for a small fee.

Tickets must be bought from the Spring Lakes website for the time slot, and Spring Lakes requires all swimmers to purchase a membership card for a small fee in order to monitor who is in the water.

After the swim we will warm up in the cafe over a hot drink and a chat

Hope to see you there!!!
