This Winter Swim Club will be on Saturday afternoons at Harthill Reservoir, Sheffield

The Winter Swim Club dates will be:

10th October
17th October
24th October

The 6 coached sessions will cost £60 all in, plus the cost of your swim each session*

Each of the 6 coached sessions will include a briefing session with teaching covering topics such as 'Cold Water Expectations', 'Cold Water Shock', 'Cold Water Acclimatisation', 'The Ice Mile Journey' and 'Recovery & After Drop'.

If you are aiming to attend a Chill Swim event, train for Winter swimming, or undertake an IceK or Ice Mile these training sessions are the best place to learn and acclimatise for your challenge.

During the Winter season SYS will be hosting 250m, 500m, 1km and 1 mile ice swim attempts.  Entering the WINTER SWIM CLUB is your first stepping stone to these goals.

Also, during the winter season SYS will be working in partnership with our friends and colleagues to bring you the opportunity to attempt a NICE MILE - which is a mile in water between 5 and 10ºC!

The WINTER SWIM CLUB will have full safety cover provided.
