Rescue 1 our Jetski & rescue sled will be back on the water this evening after having her annual checks and service by Alan & the team at Jet Shed. Safety of our swimmers is always our top priority and having the right equipment to reach a swimmer in distress and recover them to shore for treatment by our qualified & experienced crew is essential. Rescue 2 (Emergency Rescue Boat or ERB) has been holding the fort nicely! #noexpensespared #watersafety #lifeguards #medics #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining @evolveendurance @raceskin @seadoo @ndiver_rescue @rlssuk

Ok folks this was the water temp at the lagoon this morning!! It’s gonna be gorgeously warm tomorrow evening. Don’t forget to book as we do have a capacity limit.

Hope to see you on the beach! #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining @evolveendurance @raceskin

Something different at the lagoon this weekend. You may not know but Coach Morg is also a qualified bushcraft & survival instructor and this weekend members of the British Army’s Royal Army Medical Corps came along to tap into his lifetime of experience in the great outdoors. Activities included lighting fires with modern and primitive survival techniques and also deer butchery (deer was humanely ðhically sourced) with the soldiers also cooking some up to sample this extremely nutritionally dense food at its freshest. Interested? Drop a comment below if you want to know more or follow Morg @evolvewilderness #bushcraft #survival #militarysurvival #beprepared #surviveandthrive @evolveendurance

Hey folks, bit of a treat this Wednesday evening our great friend Paul Newsome from @swimsmooth is over from Perth in Western Australia and is coming to the lagoon to have a swim in our crystal clear waters! Paul is an awesome coach and endurance swimmer (and former GB Elite triathlete) and I’m sure he’d relish the opportunity to say hi and even swim with you if you fancy drafting a seriously fast swimmer! 😂 @evolveendurance @raceskin #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining #openwaterwednesday

Who’s joining us for a dip at the lagoon this Sunday? Weather is looking gorgeous @evolveendurance @raceskin #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining

As the sun set last night over the lagoon it was time for our crew to reflect and debrief on the evenings events. Apart from the pesky kids sneaking in and jumping in the far end of the lake some of you may have seen that one swimmer required rescuing, medical attention from our team and ultimately an ambulance. We are pleased to say that the swimmer is ok and now out of hospital but undergoing further investigation into what caused this experienced open water swimmer to have a medical emergency whilst swimming despite generally being fit and healthy. It’s shows the importance of not only getting a regular MOT from your doctor but also how anyone can have an issue in the open water irrespective of fitness & experience, showing the importance of having a trained and qualified rescue team on hand to deal with any issues. Our team were able to identify the swimmer struggling before they even asked for assistance, and were ready to intervene and extract from the water. They were also able to assess the swimmer, identify a need for an ambulance early on and also provide oxygen until the ambulance arrived (50 mins after the call). Whilst incidents like this are rare we ask that everyone review their medical information on their @evolveendurance account and update any new medical conditions and also amend any updates of address or emergency contact details. Big thank you to our crew for the work they did to keep things safe as we dealt with the incident and also the other swimmers who offered assistance. Stay safe x @rlssuk @redpaddleco

Oooh yeah! Gonna be a gorgeous one! #openwaterwednesday #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining @evolveendurance @raceskin

In the process we hope to raise enough money to cover the pool electric & gas bill for one calendar month! The pool is an independent charity that receives no funding support from the local authority. The recent fuel price increases have put the pools future at risk. We want to do anything we can to help!

Who’s coming for an equinox swim tomorrow morning? At 07:49am tomorrow morning the earth will be upright on its axis in relation to the sun therefore marking the point where autumn begins in the Northern hemisphere and spring starts in the southern hemisphere. From this point forward the northern hemisphere will gradually tilt further & further away from the sun causing cooler weather and shorter days (day light hours). Sorry if that’s a bit geeky! Coach Morg can’t help himself when it comes to this stuff! 🤦‍♂️ #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining #autmnequinox #equinox

Hi Everyone, please note that after Martin’s Funeral Tuesday 4th of July Sharon has quite rightly decided to take some time out and asked us not to operate our midweek sessions for a couple of weeks. This means there will be no Wednesday evening swim on 5th & 12th of July. To minimise disruption to all site operators Sharon has kindly said we can still operate our weekend sessions as normal. As I’m sure you agree we totally respect Sharon’s decision at this difficult time and we continue send our love and support to her and Martin’s family.

Hands up who’s not bothered by the rain? 🙋‍♀️ 🙋‍♂️ Don’t be put off by the gloomy forecast! The water is still gorgeously warm and actually feels warmer when the air temp is cooler. Fetch a waterproof bag or bin liner to cover your kit just in case. #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining #warmerinthanout

Whilst the forecast is for overcast with a bit of rain, the water is still gorgeously warm! #warmerinthanout #openwaterwednesday #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining

86 year old Bill is loving the warm weather & water! Are you joining him this weekend for a swim? As always our vigilant crew will be watching over you and looking after you. #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining #drowningpreventionweek @rlssuk @evolveendurance

Rest in peace Martin, you are an Amphibian and always will be x our thoughts & hearts are with Sharon & Martin’s family and friends xx (please note as per Martin & Sharon’s wishes we will be continuing with our swim programme).
