Big Bala Swim 2019
The Big Bala Swim was on June 1st, 2019 in Llyn Tegid, Bala, in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. There was a choice of three swim distances: 1.5km, 4.5km and 9km. The 4.5km swimmers catch the historical narrow-gauge steam train to the start of the 4.5km swim. There were wetsuit and non-wetsuit swimmers.
Llyn Tegid is the largest lake in Wales and is surrounded by the Aran, Arenig and Berwyn mountain ranges which have 51 peaks over 2000 ft (610 metres) high.
The date for the 2020 event is 1st June – definitely one for the diary.

Instructors stress swimming safety this summer
We want you to be worry-free in the water this summer. One of the best choices you can make is to invest in swim lessons! The younger kids start swimming the more confident they become in the water early on. It’s never too early to put your children in swim lessons. In fact, at Life Timekids can start lessons as early as 4 months.
If you’re heading to the pool with the family or friends follow the 25:10 rule. If someone can’t swim 25 ft without help, make sure an adult who can swim is within 10 feet at all times.
If you’re child can’t swim, wear a coast guard approved jacket – not floaties.
Experts also recommend you follow a 1:3 ratio. Have at least one swimmer for every 3 non-swimmers at the pool.
Always maintain visual contact – keeping an eye on your friends, family and kids is the best way to stay safe in the water! Finally – take breaks at least every 2 hours to rest and rehydrate.
