Mon 15 Jun - Update
Thank you to all that have made this opening week safe and sound. We are happy to say we can increase the number of swimmers per session from 12 to 15 . I have just altered Eventbrite site hence 60 more swim tickets are available per week - i hope this eases some frustrated swimmers . If respect for distancing is continued we will hopefully up the numbers once more in a week or two.
Please may we remind all that spectators are not encouraged on lakeside . Walking around the lakes and woodland is not now permitted - Covid 19 measures ask that only swimmers are on site.
You arrive - you swim - you depart .
Our apologies if this sounds harsh/unwelcoming , we have been advised on our Covid 19 safety practices and must adhere to them .
Junior Policy - Our present Junior policy welcomes 14 year olds and upwards - this is a newly brought in Covid 19 measure reducing risk for water safety team . Having had numerous junior inquiries we ran a trial session for Juniors i.e under 14 yrs. this (Sat) morning. Criteria for attending is that the child must either be a strong swim club swimmer and/or have open water swimming experience. This session is not a coaching session .
The sessions provides an opportunity for juniors to experience open water swimming in Lenches Lakes, swim the various courses that vary from 60 m to 350m with the close presence of lifeguards on kayaks .
Adults are asked to stay on lakeside , chatting to swimmers whilst session is in progress is discouraged . If our water safety team feel the junior swimmer is comfortable in our lake and will not increase risk to lifeguards unduly they will be welcome to join the regular session with an accompanying competent adult swimmer.
All juniors to wear wetsuit and swim with a tow float.
We are happy to organise another trial session for under 14 's if enough are interested - The session price is £8 and lasts up to 60 minutes dependent on stamina of swimmers. Please email us if you have you have an interested juniors. mail@lencheslakes.co.uk or phone 01386 871035
Thank you
