Open Water Swimming

Our lake is perfect for swimming and a great way to train for an open water event such as the Great North Swim. It’s not too deep (and not too cold), but you will quickly feel like you’re swimming in the wild.

It’s a growing sport for good reason, the open water provides different levels of intensity and resistance to an indoor pool - so you’ll get fitter faster and feel great afterwards. Regular open water swimming conditions your body, improves circulation and boosts your immune system.

Unfortunately we DO NOT provide lifeguards so you must be a strong competent swimmer. We do have a limited number of wet suits which will aid buoyancy in the lake, if you need one just ask.

Whether you just fancy a dip or if you’d like to start some serious triathlon training call us on 01704 822 644 or email bookings@rockandriver.co.uk
