Cold Water Swimming

Cold water swimming to blow away those winter cobwebs!

Cold water swimming sessions are available on weekends, 9am-12noon, throughout winter*. You can expect temperatures to be chilly but we can’t guarantee specific temperatures so please keep an eye on our cold water group Facebook page on the weekend of your visit. Our pool is not just for those who regularly brave the cold, anyone can try it!

Book here.

Cold water swimming is a fantastic way to blow off some cobwebs that can build up over those long winter months. CHALLENGE YOURSELF! You will not regret it and you may be surprised how great you feel for giving it a go. Warm up with porridge and a hot drink from the Tuck shop or in the cafe from 10am.

In partnership with Swim Coach Alec Richardson, we offer an “Introduction to Cold Water” session during the cold water sessions most weekends. Learn how to keep yourself safe and become part of the cold water swimming community. Find out more here.

Café Lido – Our Community Café

Open Monday to Sunday (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the winter months) for counter service or takeaway from 10am to 3.30pm.
