The Staffordshire beauty spot with wild water swimming sessions costing less than £10
A beauty spot in Staffordshire is offering wild water swimming sessions this summer.
Beauty spot Tittesworth Water, located near Leek in Staffordshire, is now offering wild water swimming.
Bookings are being taken for sessions on Thursday nights and Saturday mornings.
Each session - within a 400-metre course - lasts 50 minutes and costs £8.
Tittesworth Water posted on Facebook announcing the news, whilst stressing that swimming remains unauthorised at the reservoir outside of these sessions.
It said that Tittesworth Watersports and Severn Trent have been working closely to “introduce managed open water swimming to Tittesworth in a safe and accessible manner.”
It added: “Managed open water swimming will only take place: at authorised times, within designated areas of the reservoir which have been confirmed as safe from underwater obstructions, where water sampling and water temperatures are measured to certain perameters, swim safety is provided and swimmers provide/wear mandatory safety equipment.
“Please note swimming is still unauthorised at Tittesworth Water outside of managed open water swimming sessions provided by Tittesworth Watersports.”
One user commented on the post: “It was brilliant this morning. Really well organised, lovely and welcoming. Thank you!”.
Another user added: “Thank you to Paul and the team - I really enjoyed swimming at Tittesworth on Saturday morning. Beautiful spot, well organised and very safely managed. I will be back when in the area”.
