Open Water Swimming

Fun Starts Here!

About Open Water Swim

Open Water Swimming takes place in natural bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, or oceans, rather than pools. At Let’s Go Hydro, participants can use our reservoir for training or recreational swims.

Key Points:

Conditions vary: currents, waves, temperature, and visibility
Navigation requires “sighting” to stay on course
Gear may include goggles, bright-coloured swim caps, and wetsuits
Safety: swim with others, check conditions, and use visible gear

Benefits:

Builds endurance and mental resilience
Connects you with nature

Session Duration

Each Open Water Swim session lasts 60 minutes.

Participants must arrive 30 minutes prior to the session start for:

Check-in
Wetsuit fitting (if required)
Safety briefing

Let’s Go Hydro is not responsible for missed sessions or reduced participation time due to late arrival.
