What a rollercoaster of a year we have all had, but we hope you are all looking forward with a positive attitude to the government changes which are ahead of us, these will allow us all to start getting back to some normality.

In this email we’d like to advise you of all the things we have got happening, and hopefully our plans will help keep you smiling and allow you to set some challenges for yourself.

We have been attending the Lagoon and having a big clear out and prepping for the re-opening of the lake. We are not sure when yet, as this will be as we are dictated by the water temperature. It must hold 12° overnight before we re-open, this is at the request of our insurers and in our experience, a good starting temperature for the safety of our swimmers. Our last reading on Tuesday was 9.6° - can we all cross our fingers for warmer temperatures and the sun! The water is currently looking great and very inviting with lots of new wildlife around the lake, which we must respect on visiting the lake at all times. We will be doing regular updates on the Facebook page regards to the temperature and how we are going to be operating in 2021 at the lake. 

The Tadcaster Community Swimming Pool is re-opening to the public week commencing 12th April, which means for those who have pre-booked the swim sessions with us we will be starting that week. An email has already been sent out advising dates etc. We have rented the full pool for several sessions per week which allows us to coach you alongside like-minded people of similar ability. A swim set will be placed at the end of the lanes for you all to follow. We will be poolside to coach you once we are allowed, but in the meantime, we will be observing from various spots around the pool to offer advice after the session. We do have some availability on our Thursday afternoon session, and Saturday afternoon – please contact us if you require any further information.

We have several planned events throughout the season at the Lagoon, check them out. We have a separate Facebook page (recently set up so we would really appreciate it if you can like it and share the page) and a fab and easy to navigate website exclusively for event info & bookings! We have some great events taking place, Triathlons of various distances, the fabulous Amphibian (Swim, Run, Repeat) event and this year we have taken the plunge to give like-minded people a fantastic opportunity to see what distance they can cover on the day! Why not take a Look at the Evolve Endurance Trio Weekend, you can do one, two or all three disciplines over the long weekend - choose your distance in Swim, Bike, Run and complete what you can on each day, anything up to FULL Iron Distance! A good way to break down a triathlon and see if its doable! 

We have many items in stock and have been advertising items daily, these range from clothing, towels, buoyancy aids, drybags and creams and lotions! We are advertising these on our Facebook pages (we have a few, I will list them below), don’t miss out, some great items available and a good chance to be prepared for the season. 

Evolve Endurance is basically what we are all about, we what you to progress and go longer, further but doing it all in a safe and coached supported way.

We currently have a Evolve Endurance Tribe group which has been operating prior Covid and consistently throughout. It’s a monthly membership of £20 which allows you to optionally join in 3 x group sessions (currently via Zoom) per week, and gives you reduced fees on our pool swimming sessions. Please feel free to message us if you would like any further information. 

We are always looking for volunteers to helps out at the lagoon swim sessions and on our events. During your time volunteering you can learn various skills – paddle-boarding, kayak and general open water swimming safety skills. In return, we offer you free swims, reduced membership, food & drink plus discounts where we can on products. We have a fantastic crew of volunteers of varying age and each one is highly appreciated by both us and our members.

I think that’s a fair bit shared with you with more to come!! If you have any questions for us, please send us an email to info@evolveendurance.co.uk and we will reply to you asap.

We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon,

Thank you,

Morgan & Bev
