Bristol Open Water

The Bristol chapter meets at one of Bristol's open water locations — a stretch of the River Avon at Conham River Park. Park at the Conham River car park and meet the group by the water. The river is calm with a gentle current — perfect for cold water immersion.

April brings water temperatures around 9°C. The chapter has been running since 2023 and has a strong, welcoming community of regulars. New faces are always made very welcome.
