Expect the water temperature in the lake to be around 6°C to 8°C. The temperature varies depending on the preceding weather. We will keep you updated on the water temperature in the days leading up to the event. Hot Ribena available after each lap. Please don't enter if you are not acclimatised to cold water swimming.

THE COURSE

For safety reasons the course will be a 500m lap. For the mile there will be a 55m swim to get to the start of the first lap, and to get to the finish after the third lap. The Maths: (3 x 500m) + (2 x 55m) = 1610m
