Open Water Swimming

2026 Season Bookable from April

If you are new to OWS then contact us to book an introductory session with our partners:

We are happy to offer Open Water Swimming sessions at Spot on Wake! Join us in our safe and sheltered waters and enjoy a swim in our beautiful lake.

Introductory Swim Sessions – If you are new to open water, don’t worry! Our set up is perfect for those entering the water for their first strokes. The shallow and sheltered waters allow you to gain confidence at your pace. Please notify the lifeguard if it’s your first time, or if you’re a nervous swimmer and they will keep an extra eye on you. There are still additional risks associated with Open Water Swimming vs Pool Swimming, including cold water shock or hypothermia, even in mild conditions. Please speak to our friendly staff for advice. All sessions are monitored by qualified RLSS Open Water Lifeguards.

Please note: Swim hats are compulsory.
