Mercers Lake near Redhill is a delight to swim in. Clear clean waters, changing facilities and a cafe on site.
This course is designed to give you the basic knowledge and skills to enjoy swimming / dipping in cold water safely and enjoyably.
Swimming in open water is considered a different sport to pool swimming and there are plenty of top tips that are worth knowing to make your experience better not to mention help you understand why it can be so good for your mental health.
The time we spend in the water depends on the group, the conditions and will be measured in minutes at this time of year. You must be confident to be able to swim more than 200m in a swimming pool. Choose to swim either with a wetsuit or not. They are not compulsory.
Whilst there are many benefits to being in cold water there are also risks which can include the affects of a rise in blood pressure such as heart attack. If you have any concerns regarding your health and level of fitness please get in touch with us and/or speak to your doctor.
The session is subject to weather and water conditions. We will inform you asap if we need to postpone the session and offer a new date.
Please book directly with Aquasports who operate water sports on Mercers Lake.
Sessions can only run with sufficient numbers - so bring a friend!
What to expect:

- entering the water for the first time, acclimatisation and awareness
- how long is long enough
- benefits of cold water to mental and physical well-being

The session is led by highly qualified & fully insured open water swimming coaches and lifeguards Jude Palmer and Paul Mackenzie
