    Swim race cancelled due to Covid. They kept the Β£10 booking fee and charged a further Β£10. So Β£20 for nothing. It is not cheap. Not very egalitarian. It doesn't encourage diversity to open swimming, it is really just for middle class men.

    It's a lovely place to swim, usually three different distance routes. The staff are very kind and helpful. Cheap to swim and you can rent all of the gear you need. I go weekly with a few work colleagues. People of all ages come, from children learning how to swim in the open water to women with many decades of life experience swimming butterfly for 5km. If you are umming and ahhing about going, I recommend just giving it a shot. I love it!

    Just completed the U Swim introductory session , Dave was great at explaining everything. Karen was also a great support when in the water too. Highly recommend. Supportive atmosphere, not only by the organisers, but all by fellow participants. Highly recommend!!

    Great open water spot in Salford Quays, it’s missing changing facilities, so seen a few too many builders bums for my liking. Bring a changing robe. The water is probably some of the cleanest around. Much nicer than Sale Water Park. Always plenty of helpful staff about and usually a few different options on distance. Standard Open Water rules apply, everyone swims anti clockwise and you need a brightly coloured swim cap. I would recommend mirrored goggles as there can be quite a glare on the water.

    Salford Dock Uswim. Brilliant first impression. Well organised, polite and helpful staff and spotters in boats and paddle boards watching over us all. Hot drinks and cake can be purchased too when you've finished your swim. Β£10 a swim payable in cash only.

    I have emailed a few times looking for a refund for a swim which was cancelled last year. I havent received a response. My last few emails were undeliverable. I havebt had a positive experience with this company so i wont be booking with them again.
