Ladies and Gents, can anyone recommend an open water swimming venue in the North East… I am visiting my fiancée’s relatives this weekend and fancy a swim Saturday in Tynemouth / Cullercoats area… Obviously I can just use the sea but would prefer an organised venue… Any ideas?
Ps, I am so addicted to this tri stuff now, did London this weekend Olympic distance and beat my target by 32 minutes… I am over the flippin moon to say the least… Was aiming for 3:30, and got 2:58 and have never felt so uncomfortable in a 37 minute swim in my life… So glad I prepped open water as much as I did or else I think I would have died of shock…

Congratulations on beating your target, and by a huge margin. [8D]
Sure have, I am still on cloud nine…
Sorry to say there just isnt one in the North East and have looked forever!! The sea's your best option. If however Im missing a trick (which is likely) please post it on here so I can find out too!! There is a way of using an open venue like a lake but only through a tri club. why dont you email the local clubs and see if theyre going out when you're up? They might allow you to join them for a swim...
I would invite you but am not a member myself yet!! plan to become one though.
Well done by the way on your mint time at London!!! [;)]
Don't know of any places further north
