Swimming
FIT ACT holds coached pool swimming sessions all year, plus uncoached lake swims in the warmer months to help prepare for triathlon and open water events. Coached sessions cater for swimmers of different abilities and experience. Speak to the coach if you are new to FIT swimming. Pool fees are indicated for each session.
Please note: If you are running late to the session, please slot into wherever the lane is up to. This will limit the disruption for other swimmers.
