WholeHealth Open Water Swim Village & Sauna

Swimming lake

👍👍 Fantastic community run by Cat & Wales. I have been coming twice a week since June 2021. I always feel welcome whether on my own or with friends. Im more of a wellness than a fitness swimmer but this is a perfect place for both. Great facilities, very safe and everyone always welcome. New sauna is...

👍👍 Have been here for open water swimming a number of times. It's amazingly well run and the team there are absolutely brilliant - super friendly and supportive. A fantastic spot for a swim and even better for a post-swim catch up with friends.

Divers Cove

Swimming lake

👍👍 I'd always wanted to try open water swimming but had been a bit anxious about it. I decided to take the plunge (pun fully intended) and do the open water course at the start of the month, and am now swimming regularly at Divers Cove. The course was very helpful (our teacher Rona was great) and it in...

Redricks Open Water Swimming Lake

Swimming lake

😐 Pretty surroundings but the lake itself is not the best open water swim. It is quite murky and in a few parts of the swim course my arms hit the bottom. Bit of a broken swim, I found it hard to get a good rhythm going.

4.60 (45 reviews) (~144.73 km from centre)
