Our naturally fed gravel pit is self contained and filled with clean and clear rain water.

We manage the facility without adding chemicals and have the best quality water we know off.

swim sessions

We run two SWIMMING SEASONS that cover summer and winter each year. Our summer season (1st May to end of September) is open to everyone without any induction swim while our winter swim season (Middle of October to end of April) runs as a cold water swim club which you join by completing an induction session.

All sessions are covered by our experienced safety team and we have wetsuit rentals, a great cafe and a wood fired sauna during the winter season.
