At the Tri2O Swim Centre we pride ourselves on our friendly 'club atmosphere' and welcome Triathletes and Open Water Swimmers of all abilities from novice triathletes to aspiring English Channel swimmers and everyone in between. After another fantastic year in 2010, our Reading based Open Water Swimming Centre is looking forward to welcoming you back for the 2011 season.

The venue, which was chosen for the first ever British Triathlon, has an onsite shop for all your Triathlon and Open Water Swimming essentials. The Tri2O Shop stocks a full range of Wetsuits, Tri-suits, Swimming Goggles and accessories from 2XU, blueseventy and Orca; running shoes by Newton and a range of Nutrition products from Hi5, Buzz, Mule Bar and For Goodness Shakes.
We offer a complimentary wetsuit fitting service and many of the triathlon wetsuits are available to 'try before you buy'.

The lake water temperature is measured and updated daily on our Home Page at www.mysportingtimes.com. Set us up as one of your 'favourites' and have a quick glance before you head over for a swim....then you can decide if you need those booties or not! You can also get regular updates by following us on Twitter or Facebook.
The Tri2O Swim Centre is accredited as a NOWCA approved lake.
