NOWCA will be back again to showcase safe open water swimming. It’s the one time in the year that swimming is allowed at Pendigo Lake so don’t miss this unique opportunity! They will be offering a free swim, free coaching and free wetsuit hire – but you must be a NOWCA member to book a spot – it’s only £15 a year (£1.25 a month) which gives you lots of benefits that can be used well past the expo weekend.
