The dying days of summer are here! Its noticeable how the trees are changing and the colours are deepening ready for Autumn into Winter... over 200 of you grabbed the chance to swim in the lake today (photos of you all enjoying yourself below), many of you appreciated the water temp dropping ready for YOUR winter swim season!

We had lots of you asking how to join us for the WINTER SWIM CLUB... so here is a quick guide of what to expect over the next week or so...

Firstly, you will need to SIGN UP using the WINTER SEASON SIGN UP FORM that will appear on our website home page at www.owswim.uk in a few days time... This makes you a member of the WINTER SWIM CLUB - no form = no membership = no swimmy swim swim!

Second up - You will need to complete our IN HOUSE WINTER SWIM INDUCTION SESSION if you HAVEN'T PREVIOUSLY DONE IT... its a 'one off' thing and if you have completed it in a previous year then you DO NOT need to do it again (unless you want too) and you can simply BUY SWIM SESSIONS via the FIT by WIX app and start booking your swims.

If you HAVE NOT completed OUR IN HOUSE INDUCTION then you must book and pay for an INDUCTION SESSION on one of the advertised dates on the FIT by WIX booking app.

This is a 'non negotiable' as we take our WINTER SWIM SEASON SERIOUSLY and cannot accept other lakes versions or worse than that an online safety input as 'evidence' that you understand the benefits v risk of cold water swimming.

The good news is... its a 'one off' thing and lasts a lifetime meaning you are part of a pretty exclusive club of CHILLI SWIM MEMBERS at AA for life... once you come - you never leave ;-)

WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW - Get ready! Standby for the WINTER SWIM FORM to 'GO LIVE' on our website and GO SIGN UP for WINTER SWIM CLUB... then go BOOK an INDUCTION if you need one! Every one else, go BUY WINTER SWIM CREDITS when they 'GO LIVE' ... we will let you know when!

Your friendly reminder to grab the last of the summer sun while you can!

We have lots of new members this year so a quick reminder that all swim credits purchased are bought on a ‘use them or lose them’ basis!

They expire following the last summer swim session of the 2026 summer season which will be Sunday 4th October at 9 am to 12.30 pm

Any credits you have left over at that point are ‘null & void’ and cannot be transferred to the winter swim session or summer 2027 and beyond!

Only buy what you now need or PAYG to avoid losing credits!

DIP N DINE … thanks for coming… another ‘sell out’ event and we even dodged the weather!

SWIM SESSIONS in the RAIN!
Crap weather!
Winters coming = the weather is defo on 'the turn' but it doesn't stop us swimming!

The rain has been pretty relentless today but the water temp is holding at just below 22 DegreeC

Our thunderstorm tracker shows some thunder and lightning in the UK later but generally passing South of Lincolnshire and the lake.

As a reminder - we are open!

We only have to 'clear the lake' if a thunderstorm is in our immediate area and the 'flash/bang' ratio is less than 30 sec for 3 consecutive rounds.

We monitor it closely and advise swimmers to swim the short loop if nervous... and yes... we do still swim when its raining, no need to call us to ask

More lost property…

Tonight we have… a Pandora bracelet - a picture of one of the ‘charms’… tell me what else is on it to prove ownership and you can have it back 😉

No 2 - we have a paid of running/swimming bone conduction headphones… they are similar to Shokz but are a different brand… tell us the brand and you can have them back…

No 3 - we have a set of car keys with a distinctive key ring (pictured) - tell us what car it is (or turn up in it) and you can have them back…

Stay tuned for more lost property fun…
