Swim, Relax & Socialise in a picturesque setting just outside London, Surrey. 

 

We are proud to be able to offer early morning and evening, during the summer, open water swimming sessions in beautifully clear water on the outskirts of London.

 

We pride ourselves on our friendly and approachable atmosphere and welcome all levels of swimmers. Our priority is your safety and enjoyment of our lake, and ask you to please follow all safety protocols. We are a NOWCA-affiliated lake, but nowca membership is not required to swim at our lake, and invite everyone to join us.

 

We have 3 swim loops available - 200m/500m/800m.

(We also offer a 50m loop close to the dock & main bank, for first-time OWS)

 

We hope to provide a lake where you can really enjoy what wild swimming is all about.
