Why swim here.
- Sheltered
- The marine lake sits behind a sea wall, so there’s no tide or current to worry about.
- Saltwater
- About 52 acres of seawater, topped up by the tide over the wall.
- Heat after
- Hot showers and a proper sauna next to the water.
Good to know.
Do I need a wetsuit?
We’ll publish kit guidance for each season before sessions start.
I’ve only swum in a pool. Is this for me?
Yes. The Introduction to open water course is designed for pool swimmers.
Can I swim in winter?
Winter sessions will be announced with the timetable. The sauna makes cold-water season a lot more appealing.
