Bolton Tri Club are hosting open water swim sessions at Elton Sailing Club in Bury which start on 
Tue 14th May and run every Tuesday until 1st September. You can swim anytime between 5 and 8 pm. Wet suits are compulsory. There are changing rooms and hot showers. To save everyone time we ask people to register on-line beforehand - there will be no paper registration forms. It is £5 a swim or £3 for Bolton Tri Club members. For juniors it is £3 a swim or £2 for BTC members. But you can get free swims if you provide kayak safety cover for an hour. The registration fee for non-BTC members is now £3 for the rest of the season.  


We have monthly training aquathons with a choice of distances. The next ones are June 9th and 20th August. There may be other events or coaching sessions during the season.  Also catch us on Facebook search  for 'Open Water Swimming at Elton Sailing Club'.
