Assessments:
Upon your first visit we will require every swimmer to undertake a short assessment with a coach which will cover the basics of open water safety, sighting the designated swimming buoys, and a 400m swim with a safety kayak. This is due to the sheer size and depth of Haysden Lake, and to ensure all swimmers are safe. Your assessment is free with your membership and will consist of a dry land safety briefing and a 5-minute water-based assessment – it is quick and easy! You can purchase a membership here:
