Requirements

Our skills class is for swimmers who are new or are nervous of open water swimming. This is regardless of your swimming experience.

You will be required to wear a wetsuit (SFT do not loan wetsuits) and a brightly coloured swim hat, (apart from red) SFT will have hats for sale for £6 on the day.

We operate a registration system called Lakemate. It will cost you £10 to receive a band. If you lose or break your band you will have to purchase another one. Alternatively if you own a PoolMate Plus, this has the chip in to use the scanner so you will not have to purchase a band. 

To purchase please make your £10 payment to:
Barclays: Swim For Tri Ltd. Account number: 20625280. Sort code: 20 46 60. Please use your name as a reference.

Please use the hand gel on exiting the water and scan your band at the registration gazebo.
