Please see message below from James at Tallington Lakes re 2013 open water swimming:
We are kicking off in the first week of April this year, so the first two sessions will be running on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th April. Both of these sessions will be run at a cut price of ONLY £1 per person. The Saturday session's proved very popular last season so with this in mind, this season we shall be extending the timings. So the saturday morning sessions will be starting on the 2nd June and will run from 7am-12am. Even with this extension, the cost is still ONLY £5 per person.
We are again working closely with Cyclewright.co and triathlon wetsuit brands and are currently putting dates together for demo/technical mornings and evenings. Wetsuits and accessories will also be on sale at the water sports centre.
This season session's will cost £5 per person. We have introduced discounted sessions of 10 sessions for the price of 8 and Pactrac members will be entitled to £4 sessions on thursday evening.
If there is any feedback or anything you would like to see in 2013, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards

Think I'll wait until the river swims from Woodford to Wansford (26 miles) in 13 bite-sized chunks on Thursday nights. The last two years have been really good, swimming in a different section of river each week.
However, with the PACTRAC Off-Road Triathlon at Harringworth on Sunday 5th May, we will have to get some early season swimming in somewhere.
Yes, keen to start the Nene Swims a bit earlier than last year (we didn't start till late May due to floods). I'll start a topic on the Forum soon.
