Well nobody mentioned the quality of water which is so muddy it doesn't even look good on photoes, certainly not 5*. I think it's popularity is what makes it bad, who know how much pee you're swimming in really or if that water is ever circulating

I swam on a windy, overcast and blustery day a few months ago and I forgot to leave a review. It was wonderful. Easy access, friendly people. It was a really invigorating swim due to the weather conditions but I really enjoyed it!

Best on a still day. Wind means waves! Even in the marine lake.

My usual swimming spot. It is a lovely pool. Well maintained by volunteers. Everyone you meet there is so friendly! I often swim alone but others will always speak to you or greet you :). I swim as early as 5am and sometimes past midnight if I have a buddy! It's just lovely here. Car park is close by, the bigger one is cheaper than the pub one unless you're planning on going after. The food there is lovely also!

Lovely place to swim particularly in winter when the water quality is better and the lake less busy. I personally find the lake too busy in summer and the water quality can be poor when it is hot.

This seawater filled marine lake is very popular with cold swimmers across North Somerset. Everyone is very friendly and inclusive. The website is helpful for checking water temperature and top-over times. Parking is easy but not free. Downside is nearest toilets 10 minute walk away so best to plan for this! Pub next door which when you eat/drink will reimburse parking (if you pay in cash at the parking machine and have a ticket). Best part is it’s free and open 24/7 almost all year round!
