Taster Events a Success

August 20, 2013 10:34 am

The legal people at Canal and Rivers Trust allowed us to hold two taster swim events at Harthill.  These took place on the 31st July and the 7th of August and over 25 swimmers joined us across the two dates to try out the reservoir and the facilities that we have provided courtesy of Rotherham Sailing Club.

We received some fantastic feedback which certainly impressed our contact at CRT, however we still have to wait for them to decide whether we can continue swimming.

In the meantime, here are a few of the comments from the taster swim feedback:

Wednesday 31^st July
