The Dookits

Service Description

Available dates: FRIDAY 2nd May 2025 - 09:30am - Mixed Session Fancy a swoosh in the beautiful water that is the River Tweed? An ideal spot on the edge of gorgeous Hay Lodge Park in Peebles. With a small beach, rope swings, a mix of deep and shallow water, plus the remains of old diving platforms, it’s a perfect introduction to river swimming and a wild swimmers bucket-list spot! An introduction to the basics and safety of river swimming. The session is not about distance swimming - especially in winter. It is to enable you to safely and comfortably experience a river swim. Access Access Level - Easy. The walk to the water is approximately 10 minutes along pathway, through Hay Lodge park. A slight step on to the pebble 'beach' to access the river. Much like the step into the water at Avon Lagoon. * Your booking will be fully confirmed once your medical/risk acceptance form has been checked * Tow floats required * A full email detailing where we meet and what to bring will be sent out once you have booked
