Clear water, plenty of tables for changing or a container to change in. Friendly organisers and good safety. Love the fish - means it’s clean…

Been swimming there for about 18 months, love it, go most weeks, right through winter. We sometimes go twice per week. Lovely clean water. Has some lights so you can swim in the dark. There’s always staff looking out and a safety boat if you get in trouble, but you have to either wear a wetsuit or use a tow float to improve bouyancy. Has basic changing facilities too, to keep your kit dry.

I’ve been swimming here for about 18 months now, it’s great. Lovely clear water. There’s a float test to pass before you’re allowed in, you must wear a suit OR a tow float and there is a rescue boat manned by Bob and Claire if you’re in trouble. I’ve never seen him need to rescue a swimmer but they have gone out to a diver.. useful to know if you’re not confident as it’s very deep.

So peaceful and beautiful that I drive 50 minutes to get there. Lovely, friendly staff and a quiet environment to swim the 370m(ish) circuit. Clean water, peaceful. Have to be able to swim as no lifeguards at venue.

Came in on a detour to Birmingham and it was so worth it. The staff are so friendly and make sure you are safe. My dog loved swimming here too!
