Bolton Tri Club are hosting open water swim sessions at Elton Sailing Club in Bury which start on 
Tue 15th May and run every Tuesday until 4th September. You can swim anytime between 5 and 8 pm (or 7.30pm on 4th Sept). 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 normally £5 but has been reduced to £1 for the last 3 sessoins.

We have monthly training aquathons with a choice of distances on 12th June, 17th July and 14th August. For novice open water swimmers who want to improve their skills and confidence there will be coached sessions starting in June from 6.30 to 7.15pm.
