The wider Sailing Club open day runs from 10:00am – 4:00pm, with the Yorkshire Outdoor Swimmers taking to the water from 2:00pm – 3:00pm.
Why swim with YOS?

- Paddlesports: Information on Kayaking, Canoeing, and SUPs.
- Model Yachting: See the radio-controlled racing in action.
Refreshments & Facilities
The club galley will be open throughout the day serving refreshments. Feel free to bring a picnic to enjoy by the water’s edge while you watch the activities.
Location: Rotherham Sailing Club, Harthill Reservoir, Carver Way, Harthill, Sheffield, S26 7XB
What to bring: If you plan to swim at 2pm, please bring your usual swim kit, a bright tow-float (if you have one), and plenty of warm layers for afterwards.
We can’t wait to see you in the water!
